Industries Currently Adopting Green Hydrogen
Green hydrogen is increasingly being adopted across various sectors due to its potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions and provide a sustainable energy source. Some of the key industries currently adopting green hydrogen include:
- Chemical and Petrochemical Industries: These sectors, such as ammonia and methanol manufacturing, are among the early adopters of green hydrogen. It is used as a feedstock in chemical synthesis, helping these industries meet environmental regulations and sustainability goals.
- Energy and Transportation: Green hydrogen is being explored as a fuel for electric vehicles, buses, and even industrial applications like heavy industry and shipping. Projects like the St. Gabriel Green Hydrogen Plant in the U.S. are focused on producing green hydrogen for fuel cell markets.
- Steel Production: Green hydrogen can decarbonize the steel production process by replacing fossil fuels in the reduction of iron ore, making the industry more sustainable.
- Industrial Applications: Green hydrogen is also being used in industrial processes that require high heat, such as in the manufacturing sector. Its adoption here helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower emissions.
As the technology advances and economies of scale improve, sectors like aviation and shipping are expected to embrace green hydrogen more widely by the mid-2030s, driven by regulatory pressures and economic advantages.
