Managing hydrogen emissions is key to maximizing climate benefits as hydrogen use expands

Published 4.6.2026

Current estimates of hydrogen’s climate impact are now sufficiently robust to inform policy and business decision-making, according to researchers in a new review article on the climate impacts of hydrogen emissions.

Climate effect of nitrogen emissions is uncertain

Published 22.10.2025

The climate effect of nitrogen emissions is uncertain, according to a new study led by CICERO and published in Nature. Increased knowledge is crucial before introducing new zero carbon-fuel technologies on a large scale.

Extreme weather to strengthen rapidly over next two decades

Published 11.9.2024

70 percent of the global population can expect strong and rapid changes in extreme temperatures and rainfall in the next 20 years unless greenhouse gas emissions are cut dramatically, according to a new study.

Leading experts to investigate climate impacts of a hydrogen economy in new research project

Published 4.9.2024

Pulling together experts on hydrogen from 12 institutions throughout Europe, HYway, a new research project funded by the European Union sets out to provide an understanding of the climate and environmental risks and co-benefits of a hydrogen economy – and to advise on options for addressing those risks.

Global warming potential of hydrogen estimated

Published 7.6.2023

The global warming effect of leaked hydrogen is almost 12 times stronger than co₂, shows a new study by CICERO, a climate research centre, published in Nature Communications Earth & Environment.

New dataset on climate extreme indices and heat stress indicators

Published 22.3.2022

The dataset provides climate extreme indices related to temperature and precipitation as well as selected heat stress indicators derived from global climate projections.

AMMONIA: Climate and environmental impacts of green ammonia (NH3)

The development of green ammonia (NH3) has recently gained wide interest due to its potential to decarbonize ammonia production and as a carbon-free solution for energy storage and transportation. Green ammonia production is purely based on renewable energy sources and no carbon is associated with its use, e.g. as a chemical fertilizer, or when ammonia is combusted in an engine. However, the production and use of ammonia come with other climate and environmental challenges due to its alteration of the Earth’s nitrogen cycle.

DIAMOND - Delivering the next generation of open Integrated Assessment MOdels for Net-zero, sustainable Development

The DIAMOND project contributes to the development of the next generation of integrated assessment models (IAMs), which will be fully open and sufficiently equipped to scientifically underpin and support an accelerated transition towards circular, resilient, desirable, and sustainable climate neutrality.

HYDROGEN

Hydrogen is often considered a green energy carrier that has the potential to replace oil, but little is known about its environmental and climate impacts. Over the next three years, CICERO will therefore study what these impacts are.

EXtremeClimTwin: Building capacity on climate extremes through cooperation

Increasing heat extremes, reduced summer precipitation and higher rainfall intensities are some of the climate change impacts facing the Western Balkans. To strengthen local researchers’ ability to understand the current and coming changes in climate extremes, CICERO researchers are involved in an EU funded capacity building project with the University of Novi Sad in Serbia.
