1.1 Climate Change
This chapter discusses the link between climate change and green hydrogen. It
highlights the importance of green hydrogen as a sustainable energy
carrier and explores its potential in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Possible future consequences of climate change
Preventing any climate change at all is no longer possible. However, it is still possible to limit climate change to a bearable level. This requires the rapid implementation of ambitious climate protection measures. If no action is taken, there is a risk of “points of no return”, such as melting of the entire Greenland ice sheet and its subsequent impact on the Gulf Stream.
As the examples of the table below show, ambitious actions are crucial to mitigate climate change to less dangerous consequences. Therefore, global efforts will have to be exerted.
