Hydrogen emissions - What implications for the green transition?
Thursday, 16 November 2023 | 15:00 - 16:15 CET
The European Union has placed hydrogen at the forefront of its ambitious climate neutrality goals. The EU aims to harness the potential of hydrogen in various sectors, such as industry, transport, and energy production, to help achieve its target of becoming carbon-neutral by 2050. However, hydrogen can create several climate challenges depending on how it is produced, managed, and used.
To date, hydrogen leakage has been seen as a safety concern. It can cause significant near-term warming by increasing amounts of short-lived GHGs in the atmosphere through chemical reactions. Depending on how much is emitted, anticipated climate benefits can be severely undercut in the near term.
