The Role of Green Hydrogen in the Energy Transition of the Industry

Abstract

Expectations for hydrogen as a clean substitute of fossil fuels can be met in a very near future, driven by the inevitable energy transition towards a decarbonized economy. The green hydrogen technology will play a fundamental role in transport, residential uses and, in a very relevant way, the industrial sector. This work aims to carry out an updated review of the possibilities of green hydrogen in the industrial sector to achieve the objectives of the energy transition and identify both the opportunities, barriers and development needs of this technology. Keywords: Hydrogen, industry, energy transition, decarbonization, fuel cell, green hydrogen, renewable energy sources, energy storage

Implementation and feasibility of green hydrogen in Colombian kitchens: an analysis of innovation and sustainability

“…Green hydrogen emerges as a potential solution for the energy transition and the decarbonization of key industrial sectors such as the chemical, steel, and cement industries, as well as the aviation and maritime transport sectors [42]. In the Colombian context, the momentum of green hydrogen can be particularly beneficial, considering the country's abundant renewable energy sources and the growing ecological awareness at both the civil and governmental levels [43].…”
