Controlling Emissions in a European hydrogen economy: Report Launch and Discussion (online)

Increasingly, hydrogen is being seen as important energy carrier that can help the world reach a net-zero future. But hydrogen (H₂) itself is an indirect greenhouse gas, and emissions along the hydrogen value chain – including those of methane and CO2 if blue hydrogen is part of the mix – threaten to undermine hydrogen’s promise as a low-carbon fuel.

In this online event the authors will present the recently-published RIFS Study "Controlling Emissions in Germany's Future Hydrogen Economy: Entry-Points for Policy Action" and the companion RIFS Policy Brief "Controlling Emissions in a European Hydrogen Economy". In the study, the warming potential of H2, methane and CO2 emissions is evaluated for a German hydrogen economy in 2045, based on scenarios developed from official strategies and targets. Based on these calculations, the authors make policy recommendations to minimise emissions along the hydrogen value chain and ensure that the potential of hydrogen as a low-carbon energy carrier is realized.
