Potential and possible applications of a climatefriendly hydrogen production
Europe's energy supply is to become independent, diverse and climate-neutral - and that in just a few years. The resulting necessary restructuring of the energy system can only work if all relevant technologies and options are used that rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions - and at acceptable costs and risks. For this is the only way to replace the enormous amounts of energy that are still being generated from fossil raw materials today. Currently, two methods of hydrogen production in particular are common: steam reforming and electrolysis. Another promising process is pyrolysis. . In particular, turquoise hydrogen produced with the help of pyrolysis offers great opportunities, as its footprint is significantly smaller than that of natural gas or blue hydrogen.
The English edition, which is considerably more extensive than the German one, places a greater emphasis on the international perspective. It contains additional articles, among others from Jorgo Chatzimarkakis (CEO of Hydrogen Europe), Prof. Alberto Abánades (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) and Raimondo Giavi (Vice President Hydrogen Growth Area, Baker Hughes).
