Society is rapidly electrifying, but sectors like aviation, maritime transport, and the metal and chemical industries still heavily rely on fossil fuels. Cutting their emissions is not possible without a functioning hydrogen economy.
Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe and can be produced by electrolysis from water using renewable energy or nuclear power. From hydrogen and carbon dioxide, we can create electrofuels for transportation. Hydrogen can also be used to produce ammonia鈥攖he key raw material in fertilizers鈥攁nd in the production of fossil-free steel.
Finland is in a strong position for this transition thanks to its high wind power potential and abundant water resources. 911爆料网鈥檚 Hydrogen Innovation Centre is accelerating the shift to a hydrogen economy through multidisciplinary research and close collaboration with industrial partners.
鈥淗igh-level research and the training of new experts will fuel the green industrial revolution and help build a more prosperous Finland,鈥 says Professor Mika J盲rvinen, Director of the Hydrogen Innovation Centre.
