European Hydrogen Market Set to Explode
Once again we are talking about hydrogen in The smarter E Podcast. Why you might ask — haven’t we heard enough about it already? This is simple, because in 2021 there is no way around this discussion: if we want to reach our climate goals of decarbonizing by 2050 it has an essential role to play, especially in steel production, the chemical industry, the heating market or the transport sector. The big question is though — how big will the role of hydrogen really be? Which market dynamic could you count with? And what are reliable numbers behind the hype? We talk about that with Alexander Esser, energy economist at Aurora Energy Research.
