- Title
Production and Demand Challenges for 'Green' Hydrogen.

- Abstract
The article discusses the challenges faced by the hydrogen industry in meeting the increasing demand for green hydrogen to support decarbonization goals. The traditional methods of hydrogen production are linked to carbon emissions, and the emergence of green hydrogen produced with electrolyzers powered by renewable energy has become more important. However, the surge in demand for green hydrogen is straining the supply chain, leading to delays in projects and a shortage of equipment. Governments are enacting policies and incentives to support the development of green hydrogen technologies, but these also create pressure on the supply chain. Collaboration and investment in manufacturing capabilities and technological advancements are necessary to meet the demand for hydrogen. The article also highlights the demand for hydrogen in the mobility sector, particularly for fuel-cell-powered vehicles and sustainable aviation fuel. The limited number of producers of electrolyzers and fuel cells poses challenges in meeting the demand. Companies with access to renewable energy, such as NextEra Energy, are entering the market to supply green hydrogen. Overall, the hydrogen industry faces both challenges and opportunities in meeting the increasing demand for hydrogen. Cummins Inc., a well-known diesel manufacturer, has acquired Hydrogenics, a developer of fuel cell components and hydrogen production equipment. This acquisition allows Cummins to have access to both fuel cells and electrolyzers, providing an alternative method for heavy-duty transportation. The demand for fuel cells in heavy-duty transportation is driving the need for carbon-fiber storage containers, which reduce vehicle weight and hydrogen capacity. The aviation industry is also increasing its demand for sustainable
