Description (excerpt):
Lowering the carbon footprint of energy use is at the core of discussions on energy transitions and hydrogen has become a part of that dialogue. Decarbonization efforts and commitments from governments and industries are rising due to global climate and sustainability targets, and many are exploring and adapting innovative technologies and business models with the goal of zero-carbon or low-carbon energy and carbon utilization strategies. As the challenges and complexities of the energy transition evolve, industry is also transitioning to a new age of human development, one where the environmental and societal consequences must now be balanced with economic ambitions.
This brief explores a potential hydrogen pathway that also creates opportunities for advanced carbon-based materials in a clean energy future.
