Hydrogen Technology

Hydrogen technology refers to the processes and applications related to the generation, storage, distribution, and use of hydrogen as an energy carrier. It encompasses a range of technologies aimed at harnessing hydrogen, which can be produced from various sources, including natural gas, water, and biomass, through methods such as electrolysis, steam methane reforming, and gasification. This technology aims to facilitate a shift towards cleaner energy systems, as hydrogen can be used as a fuel in vehicles, power plants, and industrial applications, emitting only water when combusted.

Key aspects of hydrogen technology include fuel cells, which convert hydrogen into electricity, and hydrogen production methods that determine the sustainability and carbon footprint of the hydrogen produced. The technology is seen as essential in addressing energy storage challenges and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in sectors that are hard to electrify. Overall, hydrogen technology is crucial for promoting energy transition and supporting efforts to mitigate climate change.
