Net zero emissions by 2050
Net zero emissions by 2050
Hydrogen power, a key to achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050 as per the Paris Agreement, is the future of energy. With the energy sector accounting for 75% of greenhouse gas emissions, a shift to cleaner energy is vital to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
The International Energy Agency proposes a roadmap to this goal, requiring a $5 trillion investment in decarbonization by 2030 and a massive $100 trillion by 2050. This necessitates significant government actions to promote clean energy and reduce fossil fuel dependence.
The four key drivers of the green energy transition
-
Electrification
Electrification is a key driver of the energy transition, with a projected 70% of global energy by 2050 coming from sources like solar PV and wind. This shift spans sectors like transportation (electric vehicles), buildings (heat pumps), and industry (electric furnaces), vital for emissions reduction.
-
Diverse energy mix
In addition to solar and wind power, the energy mix of the future will incorporate bioenergy, carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCSU), and biomass. These diverse sources will play a crucial role in meeting energy demand while minimising environmental impacts.
-
Green hydrogen
Green hydrogen, generated via water electrolysis with renewables, may comprise 24% of energy demand by 2050. It’s crucial for sectors where electricity can’t replace fossil fuels, like heavy industry and long-haul transport. policies that promote clean energy adoption.
-
Behavioural change
Achieving the net-zero emissions target by 2050 is contingent on sustained support and active participation from everyone. This includes adopting energy-efficient practices, reducing personal carbon footprints, and supporting policies that promote clean energy adoption.
Green hydrogen applications
Green hydrogen applications
Customers can generate hydrogen from renewable sources, including wind, solar, and geothermal. The gas is then stored until it is needed. It can be converted from its stored state for on-site use or transported to another facility for generating clean power.
Green hydrogen is revolutionising transport, powering zero-emission fuel cell vehicles and decarbonising heavy-duty vehicles. It’s reducing city emissions, noise, and enabling long-distance travel. It’s also set to transform aviation and maritime sectors, providing a clean energy source for planes and ships.
Green hydrogen can be integrated into existing pipelines, reducing our gas supply’s carbon footprint. It stores excess renewable energy, enhancing grid stability. It also replaces conventional hydrogen in industries, promoting environmental sustainability.
