Hydrogen
"To accelerate the global transition to a low-carbon economy, all energy systems and sectors must be actively decarbonized. While hydrogen has been a staple in the energy and chemical industries for decades, renewable hydrogen is drawing increased attention today as a versatile and sustainable energy carrier with the potential to play an important role in the carbon-free energy puzzle"
Nicola De Blasio
REFERENCE
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.
PAPER
La Dimensión Internacional del Hidrógeno Renovable (The International Dimension of Renewable Hydrogen)
Authors: Alejandro Nuñez-Jimenez and Nicola De Blasio
El hidrógeno renovable se enfrenta a tres desafíos fundamentales: incrementar la producción, expandir la demanda, y construir infraestructura para conectar producción y demanda. Sin embargo, la posibilidad de transportar grandes cantidades de hidrógeno a largas distancias distingue al hidrógeno renovable de otras tecnologías y la dota de una dimensión internacional.
REPORT
India - The New Global Green Hydrogen Powerhouse?
Authors: Alessandro Gili and Nicola De Blasio
As witnessed during the G20 presidency, India could pioneer a new economic development model based on technological innovation, side-stepping the carbon-intensive approaches of the past. Accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy should not be perceived as a risk hindering growth but as an opportunity to reduce socioeconomic imbalances and achieve industrial leadership. Is India ready?
