THE GEOPOLITICS OF HYDROGEN: |
|
TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF THE ENERGY SYSTEM TRANSITION |

Hydrogen has been identified as one of the sources that
could facilitate the decarbonisation due to its ability to store
and supply large quantities of energy without creating CO2 emissions during
combustion. In
particular, hydrogen can play a decisive role in the decarbonisation of
energy-intensive industries, including the air and maritime transport
sectors as well as the steel and chemicals industries. Some experts see hydrogen as
destined to represent a large share of the global energy mix of the future, while
others are more cautious. What is certain, however, is that the growing use of
this energy vector will have profound geopolitical implications across the
world, with the potential of re-drawing the energy, economic, social and
security relations maps.Will hydrogen become a large share
of the energy mix of the future? How will hydrogen change geopolitical
relations? Which actors will come out of this transition as the winners,
and which ones as the losers?
