The role of hydrogen is growing

In addition to replacing natural gas for generating heat in the process industry, hydrogen is becoming a building block in sustainable chemistry for manufacturing products. Furthermore, hydrogen is developing into an important energy carrier in aviation and maritime transport, for heavy road transport and for heat supply in households and greenhouses. Despite the challenges caused by higher costs and economic uncertainties, the system is gradually taking shape.
