The Role of Green Hydrogen in the Energy Transition of the Industry

Expectations for hydrogen as a clean substitute of fossil fuels can be met in a very near future, driven by the inevitable energy transition towards a decarbonized economy. The green hydrogen technology will play a fundamental role in transport, residential uses and, in a very relevant way, the industrial sector. This work aims to carry out an updated review of the possibilities of green hydrogen in the industrial sector to achieve the objectives of the energy transition and identify both the opportunities, barriers and development needs of this technology.
