Hydrogen Fuel News

APRIL 2, 2024

  The adoption of hydrogen as a fuel is a key aspect of the net zero initiative. According to 2022 statistics, global hydrogen use touched 95 million tonnes, a year-on-year increase of nearly 3%. As a fuel, hydrogen supports applications like heavy industries , seasonal energy storage, and long-haul transport.
