Natural gas – synergies with hydrogen

Hydrogen represents a valuable energy carrier. It has the potential to contribute strategically to future energy requirements in an environmentally responsible manner when produced using new low-emission production technology. It is important that hydrogen production, conversion and storage technologies can reach techno-economically and environmentally attractive performance levels. Within such a context, natural gas–hydrogen synergies and assorted technology options in a carbon-constrained future are of central importance. The research study described aims at identifying the potential synergies between hydrogen and the changing natural gas industry within the context of an operationally reliable, economically viable and environmentally compliant global energy system.
