Hydrogen

The EU prioritizes expanding hydrogen infrastructure. To plan effectively, they need to understand hydrogen's future role in the energy system, which remains uncertain. An analysis shows that a robust European hydrogen system is essential for cost-effective and sustainable energy, integrating renewables through electrolyzers, storage, and transport networks.
