Hydrogen as the Cornerstone of a Renewable Energy Society
Abstract
The global transition to renewable energy has positioned green hydrogen as a pivotal element in reshaping energy production, storage and consumption. This chapter explores hydrogen's critical role in creating a renewable energy society, particularly its potential to decarbonize industries, enhance energy security and provide long-term energy storage. Unlike batteries, hydrogen can store excess renewable energy and deliver it during peak demand, offering a versatile solution for grid balancing. Key sectors such as transportation, heavy industry, and residential applications benefit from hydrogen's flexibility, especially where electrification alone is insufficient. Despite its promise, the hydrogen economy faces challenges, including high costs, infrastructure needs and public acceptance. The chapter highlights that while hydrogen is not a standalone solution, its integration with other clean technologies is crucial to achieving a sustainable, carbon-neutral future.
