So, what’s the big deal with hydrogen? - Inspiratia's experts explore why hydrogen and fuel cells are booming
There is an extensive wealth of reports available on hydrogen today. But here are a few good primers to get you started:
The IEA is a great initial starting point. Their latest report on “The Future of Hydrogen” is the best regarded report in this field, while their website has a wealth of information on projects, deployments and cost considerations: https://www.iea.org/topics/hydrogen/resources/
Another excellent overview of hydrogen projects, largely in the European context, comes from the World Energy Councils “New Hydrogen Economy: Hype or Hope” report. https://www.worldenergy.org/publications/2019/world-energy-insights-brief-new-hydrogen-economy-hype-or-hope/
Perhaps the most famous report in recent times on hydrogen is the 2017 Hydrogen Council report “Hydrogen scaling up”, which is a vision document on how large the potential hydrogen market could be: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=2ahUKEwiklp2sp8jjAhVNSRUIHWk5AQYQFjABegQIARAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fhydrogencouncil.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F11%2FHydrogen-scaling-up-Hydrogen-Council.pdf&usg=AOvVaw20OMo_avhu5Xmmc-gj-QXk
To see the Hydrogen value proposition for the hard to abate sectors see the Energy Transition Commission’s Mission Possible report, 2 page summary link here:
