π Hydrogen Today vs. 2050: A Glimpse into the Energy Transition π
π Today: 95 Mt Hβ, 95% from fossil fuels, emitting 11β30 kg COβ/kg Hβ π¨.
β‘ By 2050: Hydrogen demand could quadruple (430 Mt Hβ), with green & blue Hβ replacing fossil-based production. As cleaner technologies scale, specific emissions of hydrogen could drop below 3.5 kg COβ/kg Hβ, playing a crucial role in achieving net-zero targets β».
π The Shift:
πΉ 2030: Green & blue hydrogen scale up π±
πΉ 2035: Fossil-based Hβ declines β‘
πΉ 2050: Green Hβ dominates β
π But hydrogen alone isnβt the answerβwe must integrate it wisely, prioritizing efficiency and renewables to replace fossil fuels, not just meet growing demand. A balanced energy mix is key to a sustainable future. ππ‘
