Hydrogen – our future carrier of energy?

The demand for a more sustainable use of energy is growing world-wide as a response to pollution problems and unreliable supply of fossil fuels.

Using hydrogen (H2) for storing and distributing energy might be an important element in the solution to these problems.

Many people believe that, within this century, hydrogen will become one of the core elements of a sustainable energy system.   Thinking of H2 as a large-scale energy carrier involves a lot of exciting possibilities, but also confronts us with large technological and societal challenges.
