Energy Supply 20XX and Hydrogen

Decarbonisation as a Goal

The decarbonisation of all sectors of the economy and life requires a profound transformation of the energy supply and also of industrial processes. Electricity from renewable energy sources, namely Photovoltaics and wind energy will be the mainstay of this. Hydrogen plays a multiple role in such a system: As a secondary energy source („refined electricity“), to avoid process-related GHG emissions in basic industries and also as a counterpoint to a fluctuating power generation.
