The Hydrogen Value Chain

Renewable energy sources power hydrogen production, followed by storage and distribution for utilization in transportation and industry.

Hydrogen has the potential to revolutionize energy storage by converting surplus renewable energy from sources like wind turbines and solar panels into hydrogen, providing large-scale, long-duration storage solutions. Stored hydrogen can then be reutilized for a variety of demand applications, from transportation to industrial use or blended with natural gas using existing pipeline networks.
