Hydrogen feeds the world
Fertilizer production requires large amounts of hydrogen. Today, 95 percent of this hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels, leading to colossal greenhouse gas emissions of CO₂. To save the Earth from more than 2 °C of global warming, politicians are using economic incentives to get the fertilizer industry to switch from fossil hydrogen to clean hydrogen produced by electrolyzers. This makes the fertilizer industry one of the largest markets for electrolyzers. In this blog post, we take a closer look at this little-known market, which, given its size, is more interesting than many of the more well-known ones.

E‑fuel made of hydrogen
E‑fuel is an umbrella term for fossil-free alternatives to gasoline, diesel, and other fossil fuels. These fuels are produced by converting fossil-free hydrogen and capturing carbon dioxide. They can be used in existing engines without increasing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere. Is this the silver bullet that allows us to drive cars and other vehicles with a clear conscience?

Tech brief: Hydrogen classification systems
Hydrogen can be produced in many different ways and from different feedstocks. The choice of method and feedstock gives rise to more or less greenhouse gas emissions. In the general discourse on hydrogen and climate change, it is essential to distinguish between different types of hydrogen. As a result, systems have emerged to classify hydrogen, the most commonly known and used being colors. However, the European Commission has introduced one that focuses more on emissions. This tech brief explains the two systems.
