The energy transition -a necessity and a global challengeThe need for an energy transition is widely understood and shared; however, the implications and challenges that must be resolved call for a concerted effort. Hydrogen has the potential to be a powerful enabler of this transition, as it offers a clean, sustainable, and flexible option for overcoming multiple obstacles that stand in the way of a resilient and low-carbon economy.The world needs a cleaner, more sustainable energy system Unless the energy system changes in almost every respect, from power generation to end-uses across sectors, the global climate will be affected in the coming 50 to 100 years. The greenhouse gases emitted in a business-as-usual scenario would lead to an increase of the average global temperature of about 4°C. This, in turn, would raise sea levels, shift climate zones, and make extreme weather and droughts more frequent, as well as causing other changes, all impacting biological, social, and economic systems.How hydrogen empowers the energy transition How hydrogen empowers the energy transition
