Hydrogen has several potential advantages as an energy form and storage medium in relation to climate change and environmental impacts.
Hydrogen has several potential advantages as an energy form and storage medium in relation to climate change and environmental impacts. However, current hydrogen use is based almost exclusively on fossil fuel, and this means it is not climate change neutral or beneficial. Major technological advances are being made towards producing “green hydrogen,” but this remains more expensive than fossil-based hydrogen. Hydrogen-use technologies are also being developed, but few are ready to be scaled up, so hydrogen as a form of clean energy remains largely a technology of the future.
