The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies has published a comprehensive paper by Abdurahman Alsulaiman that examines the environmental impacts of hydrogen leakage throughout its supply chain. The paper highlights the critical role of hydrogen in transitioning to a low-carbon economy, particularly in sectors that are challenging to decarbonize. However, it also addresses the potential environmental risks associated with hydrogen leakage, which can undermine its effectiveness as a clean energy source.The paper notes that hydrogen is projected to meet up to 10% of global energy demand by 2050, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Despite its clean combustion, which produces…
