Hydrogen is a critical feedstock in chemical manufacturing. By integrating low carbon hydrogen (with CCUS) into the production of chemicals and materials, we are enabling industries to reduce their reliance on oil and gas-derived feedstocks.
Hydrogen is also an important fuel to help decarbonise vital sectors such as power, industry and transport. Much like natural gas, hydrogen can be used as a fuel and combusted to generate energy; however, unlike natural gas, it does not release CO2 in this process. Hydrogen is therefore important to replace fossil fuels in sectors that are hard to electrify, such as steel, cement, dispatchable power, and heavy transport.
