Powering the Future: Hydrogen’s Role in Energy Storage & Heavy Transport

Hydrogen consistently generates between 300 and 400 conversations a quarter amongst Energy Considered's opinion leaders, particularly amongst consultants, specialist energy media and non-governmental organisations.


Hydrogen plays a pivotal role in the global energy transition. However, Energy Considered is tracking a shift the hydrogen discourse. Mentions of ‘blue’ hydrogen, made from fossil gas with carbon capture and storage, are going down, as ‘green’ hydrogen from electrolysis of water rises up the agenda.

With either method of production, hydrogen’s high energy density and long term storage capability makes it important as a method of storing energy and enhancing grid stability as a fuel for gas turbines. A key application is heavy-duty transport, where  heavy vehicle makers are launching hydrogen alternative vehicles at all sizes and load capacities. Green hydrogen has an additional benefit using for surplus renewable energy.
