Developing a Hydrogen Economy

BACKGROUND:

Hydrogen has once again been growing in profile, with a global pipeline of $90bn of projects. The science has not changed, but the world is now beginning to value carbon reduction to a point where it could be economically viable to produce and store hydrogen as a means of time shifting/storing renewable energy and/or of removing carbon from fossil fuels.

The UK has a H2 project pipeline greater than rest of the world combined when you measure by CO2 saved, according to Bloomberg, and is at the cutting edge of the hydrogen economy, This must be a global effort if we are to mitigate climate change.
