A recent review of the European hydrogen strategy underscores the pivotal challenges and opportunities within this burgeoning sector. The hydrogen ecosystem, a cornerstone of the European Green Deal, requires enhanced infrastructure and strategic policy enactments to align with climate neutrality targets set for 2050. This industrial transformation relies heavily on decarbonizing energy-intensive sectors while maintaining competitive viability in a global landscape. Europe’s hydrogen sector faces significant hurdles, prominently marked by a lack of affordable renewable electricity resources. This scarcity hampers the establishment of clean hydrogen production facilities. Consequently, there’s a pressing need for a robust hydrogen infrastructure strategy—comprising energy storage…

The hydrogen economy is experiencing notable growth globally. According to GlobalData, technology, infrastructure development, and policy formation are critical areas needing attention to facilitate this growth. A significant hurdle for the hydrogen economy is technology. Efficient production and usage of hydrogen require advancements in technology. This includes developing better and more efficient methods for hydrogen production, storage, and transportation. Without addressing these technological challenges, the growth of the hydrogen economy could be significantly hampered. To establish hydrogen as a mainstream energy source, extensive infrastructure development is required. This covers the building of hydrogen refueling stations and pipelines. The current lack…
