The Importance of Hydrogen
Section outline

Chapter I - The Importance of Hydrogen in the face of Climate Change and Energy Transition von Fabian Carels, HOOU (CC BY) Hydrogen is considered a great hope for the successful implementation of the energy transition and the complete shift away from fossil fuels. Politicians, scientists and industry players generally agree that hydrogen can be used in a wide range of applications - and in some cases must be used to achieve ambitious climate protection goals. These considerations focus in particular on green hydrogen, which is produced in a climate-neutral way.
In this teaching module, the complete hydrogen value chain is discussed. Before the technical details of hydrogen supply and the possible applications are explained, this chapter will look at the background and motivation behind the efforts to establish hydrogen as a sustainable energy carrier of the future. The first two sections of this chapter therefore deal with climate change. It will be explained why the earth's climate is changing due to human activities, what the consequences of climate change are/will be and why it is necessary to reduce climate change to a minimum. The third and final section deals with the energy transition. It will be shown how far the energy transition has progressed in the various sectors, where there are still challenges to solve and what role hydrogen can play in this.The contents of this chapter are supplemented by lectures of the renowned scientists Prof. Dr. Moijb Latif (topic: The need of greenhouse gas reduction to avoid dangerous climate change) and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Kaltschmitt (topic: Greenhouse gas emissions from the energy system – Status and prospects).
