Climate impacts of hydrogen leakages
There is growing global interest in using hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels. Despite the enthusiasm for promoting a shift to a hydrogen-based economy, the environmental challenges of this transition are not well understood, making it essential to thoroughly evaluate its impact on the climate and environment before a large-scale hydrogen adoption takes place. The HYDROGEN project was established to provide this critical knowledge for the hydrogen industry and policy makers. Join us 29 October in Oslo for the final conference of the project to get new insights into the climate impact of hydrogen.
