The Role of Solid Oxide Technology in the Hydrogen Economy: A Primer
With today’s climate crisis looming large, the energy industry is at a critical juncture and must rapidly evolve its approach to catalyze change and accelerate decarbonization. As countries commit to net-zero emissions goals, the need for hydrogen is becoming clear. However, despite escalating interest and growing momentum, the market is still in its early stages. Most would argue that the successful transition to a hydrogen economy, and our best chance for a net-zero future, hinges on the following: can clean hydrogen be produced efficiently, cost-effectively, and at scale?
