Renewable hydrogen

Renewable hydrogen is a promising source of clean fuel – and one that has the potential to play a vital role in the green transition.

We’ve come leaps and bounds in our efforts to decarbonise our electricity system. However, decarbonising some traditionally high-emission sectors, such as transport and heavy industry, poses a greater challenge.

We believe that, with the right investment and research, we can make renewable hydrogen a low-cost and widely available alternative to fossil fuels – and one that plays a vital role in the global green energy transition.

In 2021, we partnered with POSCO Group to strengthen the collaboration and conduct feasibility studies on renewable hydrogen in Korea.

How is renewable hydrogen produced?

Renewable hydrogen, also referred to as green hydrogen, is produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity. The hydrogen is collected and used, while oxygen is released as the by-product if there’s no need for it locally. Find out more about how it’s done.

Frequently asked questions

There are at least three immediate uses for renewable hydrogen in the short term in the carbon-heavy sectors of industry and transport:

Replacing the use of fossil-based hydrogen with renewable hydrogen

In medium to heavy-duty land transport, using renewable hydrogen in fuel cells

In aviation and shipping, using e-fuels, such as methanol, ammonia, or kerosene based on renewable hydrogen.
