Among these technologies, hydrogen—long integral to the energy and chemical industries—is emerging as a key enabler of deep decarbonisation.

AbstractThis perspective aims to enhance understanding of industrial decarbonization strategies (e.g., carbon capture, utilization, and storage [CCUS] and hydrogen) at industrial hubs. We provide a comparative analysis of policy landscapes for the three different net-zero industrial hub projects and conclude by proposing considerations for designing green industrial policies for other regions that need deep decarbonization for their ‘hard-to-abate’ sectors.

Article from Joule Green hydrogen has emerged as a potentially important pathway in decarbonizing a variety of hard-to-abate sectors, with many organizations predicting that it will become cost competitive with fossil fuels as production costs fall. Yet, many recent analyses do not consider storage and distribution costs or how these costs may vary across end uses.

A rainbow of colors dominates almost every conversation on the transition to a low-carbon economy: green, grey, blue, turquoise, pink, yellow, orange – an ever-increasing palette to describe the same colorless, odorless, and highly combustible molecule, hydrogen. The only difference is the chemical process used to produce it. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the solar system, but it naturally occurs only in its compound form on Earth.

As the world transitions towards low-carbon energy systems, scaling up clean energy technologies will drive demand for critical minerals and metals, such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite, and rare earth elements. Stakeholders in the private and public sectors must work together to implement effective and efficient strategies, policies, and regulations to ensure that supplies are secure, reliable, sustainable, and equitable.
