The harder to abate sectors like transport and heavy industry present a huge opportunity for hydrogen, estimated to reach 10-15% of global energy use by 2050. However, to meet ESG reporting requirements, it is necessary to trace and validate all inputs and emissions. This opportunity is equivalent to today's global gas industry.
Hydrogen is produced in various ways, with each variant having a different cost and carbon intensity. This creates an opportunity for calibration and monitoring to verify the carbon intensity and enable the levying of premiums for cleaner hydrogen.
