Hydrogen and the New Fuel Economy: Where the Molecule Fits in the Energy System

Hydrogen can store and transport energy while also serving as a feedstock for industries that already consume the molecule at significant scale. Interest in lower-carbon hydrogen is expanding its potential role across refining, chemicals, steel, heavy transport and energy storage. This edition examines the complete hydrogen pathway, including production through electrolysis and other routes, storage, transportation and end use. It explores where hydrogen may provide practical advantages, where direct electrification may be more efficient and what infrastructure is required to develop a viable hydrogen economy.

Editor's Note

Hydrogen is neither a universal energy solution nor simply another fuel. Its value depends heavily on how it is produced, transported and ultimately used. This edition examines hydrogen through that complete pathway, separating the molecule's technical possibilities from the practical requirements of infrastructure, efficiency and economics. The objective is to understand where hydrogen can complement electricity and other energy sources within a diverse energy system.
