Hydrogen is an important pillar of the energy transition. First, it allows areas such as transportation (e.g. freight transport and air traffic), certain industries (e.g. steel and fertilizer production) and heat production to be decarbonized. Second, as an energy carrier, it can be used to store and transport renewable electricity over long distances. This allows renewable energy to be produced in the most favorable locations and decoupled from consumption. Hydrogen is therefore central to the strategies of many countries and the EU.
