THE HYDROGEN ROLE IN THE TRANSITION TOWARDS 100% ENERGY FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES

Abstract

The last few decades are marked by an upward trend of interest in the use of hydrogen for energy purposes. This interest is due to the belief that hydrogen can contribute to the energy transition towards 100% renewable energy sources. The combination between renewable energy sources and green hydrogen can accelerate fossil fuel replacement and climate change mitigation. The use of green hydrogen can eliminate the disadvantages of renewable energy resources compared to fossil energy sources. Besides this, hydrogen can be used for national energy security, long and short-term energy storage, energy quality ensuring, synthetic fuel production, etc.
