Hydrogen as a promising energy carrier for the transformation of the energy system
Hydrogen and synthetic gases are promising energy carriers in the context of the transformation of the energy system. In the decarbonization of energy infrastructure, industrial systems and the mobility sector, there are numerous possible applications for hydrogen-based technologies to reduce emissions. However, it is essential here to minimize the use of fossil raw materials through renewable energy sources such as wind, water or photovoltaics and thus to make the entire value chain of hydrogen and other synthetic gases (production, distribution, storage, end consumption) emission-free.
Building on many years of expertise in relevant issues of energy infrastructure development, the AIT Center for Energy positions itself in the hydrogen field as an innovative and independent development partner for industry, the energy sector, the public sector and relevant stakeholders. On the basis of scientific methods, excellent research infrastructure and technology neutrality, the aim is to evaluate possible applications of hydrogen neutrally with regard to costs, benefits and sustainability and thus to reduce the implementation risk in innovative hydrogen projects.
