Hydrogen has the advantage of making green power generated from renewables storable and transportable. This means that spatial and temporal gaps in the energy supply can be bridged. <p>This is a particularly valuable feature for the transportation and industrial sectors. In heavy-duty transport, hydrogen drive systems have advantages over purely electric drives: They significantly increase the range of trucks. Experts predict that hydrogen will surpass diesel in terms of cost-effectiveness from 2030 on. For aircraft and ships, too, hydrogen propulsion is likely to play an important role.</p> <p>Green hydrogen will also drive the energy transition in industry. According to the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive REDII, 32 percent of energy consumption must come from renewable sources by 2030. 80 percent of the demand for green hydrogen will come from industry by then. For example, feedstocks such as synthetic fuels, ammonia or methanol can be produced with the help of green hydrogen, as can new raw materials in the steel industry.</p></p> </div> <div class="component h2 " data-anchor-id="h2148427"> <h2>Key areas of the green hydrogen value chain</h2> </div> <div class="component freetext copy c148427"> <p>Although an energy supply based on hydrogen is not yet competitive today, this will change.
