Hydrogen is used as an energy carrier and feedstock to decarbonize industry, transport, and parts of the power sector, with a strong policy focus in Germany on low-carbon and green hydrogen produced from renewable electricity via electrolysis.[1] It can replace fossil fuels in steelmaking, chemicals, refining, and heavy-duty mobility, but requires new infrastructure for production, storage, transport, and end-use technologies such as fuel cells and hydrogen-capable turbines.[1]
