Whether green hydrogen will become the primary energy source for steel, cement, shipping, and aviation.
Scope: Electrolysis costs, infrastructure, EU hydrogen strategy, ammonia shipping, storage
The potential for green hydrogen to replace fossil fuels in heavy industry (steel, cement, shipping, aviation) is a subject of significant debate and development. Currently, fossil fuels remain the dominant energy source due to their established infrastructure, lower costs, and high energy density. However, increasing climate concerns, ambitious decarbonization targets, and advancements in electrolysis technology are driving serious exploration and investment in green hydrogen as a sustainable alternative. The transition is complicated by challenges in production cost, transportation, storage, and the need for new infrastructure.
