💭 As the move towards decarbonisation shifts up a gear, green hydrogen is emerging as a driving force in the energy transition. Projections reveal that the green hydrogen market could surpass $515.66b by 2037, driven by an extraordinary annual growth rate of 61% between 2025 and 2037. This rapid growth highlights the sector's vast potential. Green hydrogen plays a vital role in addressing the needs of "hard-to-abate" industries, where alternative decarbonisation technologies are often less effective or more difficult to implement. For BI Foresight, Frederic Godemel explores how strategic collaborations and digital innovation are shaping the future of clean energy.
