Its potential as a fuel, energy carrier, and chemical feedstock has led to many governments formulating national hydrogen strategies. A cohesive value chain is essential for realizing hydrogen’s potential, encompassing low-carbon hydrogen production, storage, and distribution infrastructure, which align with end-user demand.
