Green hydrogen: a key enabler to broaden the potential of renewable power solutions in hard-to-abate sectors
Accelerating the energy transition requires a rapid expansion of renewables-based electricity generation. According to IRENA’s 1.5°C Scenario, by 2050, variable renewable energy (VRE) will represent 70% of the total global energy generation, from today’s 9%. In this context, green hydrogen emerges as key complement to make the most of the massive renewable production. Green hydrogen, … Continue reading Green hydrogen: a key enabler to broaden the potential of renewable power solutions in hard-to-abate sectors
