Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. However, on Earth you find it combined with other elements, not in its free form. Some of these combinations are oxygen resulting on water (H2O), carbon forming hydrocarbons, or with other elements forming an infinity of different compounds.
Hydrogen is a versatile energy vector that does not pollute because it carries energy that can be liberated in a controlled way. In addition, with hydrogen, you can obtain heat and electricity.
Hydrogen will play a key role in the energy transition due to:
According to The Spanish Association of Hydrogen (AeH2), implementing this kind of technologies in Spain, would avoid the emission of 15.12 million tons of CO2 annually in 2030. In addition, it would help generate 227 000 jobs creating a national market of 1300 million euros annually.
Hydrogen offers multiple opportunities and has associated benefits. The main hydrogen markets are:
Hydrogen, therefore, favors security of supply and allows us to have external energy independence, reducing imports of fossil fuels. In addition, it increases the flexibility of the electrical system and facilitates a greater integration of renewable energies in the energy system.
