Decarbonising heavy industry – is hydrogen a practical solution?

Heavy industries and shipping are significant contributors to global carbon emissions and face challenges to delivering lower carbon processes due to high thermal demands and stringent carbon reduction targets. Hydrogen could be a promising solution for decarbonising these heavy-emitting sectors due to its high energy content and versatility, allowing it to be used as both a heat source and a chemical reagent in various industrial processes. But, for hydrogen and its derivatives to enable a decarbonised future for heavy industry, substantial advances in hydrogen production, infrastructure development, regulatory support, and technological integration need to happen simultaneously. Scaling up the production of hydrogen, enhancing transport and storage infrastructure, implementing supportive policies that incentivise investment, and developing technologies that effectively integrate hydrogen into existing industrial systems are critical steps towards realising this potential.

Attendee insights:

Gain a better understanding of the opportunities low-carbon hydrogen can open for decarbonising heavy industry, the innovative technologies poised to facilitate progress and the challenges to overcome in integrating hydrogen into industrial processes.
