What is hydrogen used for?

Hydrogen is an energy carrier, and can be used to:

• Store electricity, in particular that produced using renewable energy sources
• Produce fertiliser from ammonia
• Refine hydrocarbons
• Fuel low-carbon mobility solutions

In fact, 1 kg of hydrogen releases three times more energy than 1 kg of petrol.

In mobility applications, hydrogen is suitable for:

• Intensive use (forklift, last mile delivery),
• High availability requirements (fleets of emergency and service vehicles),
• Transporting heavy loads (heavy goods vehicles).

In use, it does not emit greenhouse gases or pollutants, only water vapour.
