Is Hydrogen the Future of Clean Energy for Business?

by Andrew Isaacs and Natàlia Costa i Coromina


By 2023, companies of all sizes and across multiple industries had started to create and publicly announce Net Zero climate commitments that included hydrogen power as a source of clean energy. However, there was no technology available at scale to achieve widespread adoption of hydrogen power. Further, there was no globally recognized body guiding the regulation or implementation of hydrogen technology, leaving companies to set their own standards. As a result, many questions about the feasibility of hydrogen use and the implications for climate change were left unanswered.

1) Understand some of the business, social and economic issues associated with corporate climate commitments that incorporate hydrogen 2) Consider enablers and barriers to implementing hydrogen as a renewable fuel
