Energy source of the future
Innovative technology with a wide range of applications
Everyone is talking about hydrogen – produced in a climate-friendly way, hydrogen can help reduce CO2 emissions in industry or the transport sector. For example. As an innovative technology, there are various possible uses: as a raw material for industrial processes (e.g. ammonia and steel), in generating power with very high shares of wind and solar power, and in the production of alternative aviation fuels.
How does hydrogen fit into the overall picture, and how can it contribute to achieving climate goals? What does a regulatory framework, which makes sensible use of hydrogen’s potential, look like? There are still many open questions. Here, Ariadne provides an overview of the potential role of hydrogen for the energy transition. From the supply potential of green hydrogen to the costs, from useful fields of application to uncertainties and risks, from the security strategy for hydrogen imports to necessary infrastructure.

Low Carbon Hydrogen: strategic approach missing in EU’s regulatory framework, but crucial to ensure climate protection
The use of low carbon hydrogen based on non-renewable sources is considered as a transitional solution for the market ramp-up of renewable hydrogen. A new Ariadne paper shows that a strategic approach clarifying the role of non-renewable low carbon …

More new fossil gas heating systems, only tentative progress: energy transition update
Reduced fossil fuel consumption due to the energy crisis, tentative positive signs in the expansion of renewable energy capacities, electric cars and heat pumps – but not fast enough, according to new figures from the Ariadne Transformation Tracker. Moreover, …

Get started despite uncertainties – cornerstones of an adaptable hydrogen strategy
Green hydrogen and e-fuels are undoubtedly necessary for Germany’s path towards climate neutrality in 2045. However, unlike renewable electricity from wind and solar, we have not yet made any practical use of these energy sources. Therefore, the debate is …
