Indiscriminate use of hydrogen could slow the energy transition by absorbing renewable generation that could be more effectively deployed elsewhere, according to a report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) titled Green Hydrogen for Industry: A guide to policymaking. “Extensive use [of hydrogen] may not be in line with the requirements of a decarbonised world, where energy consumption and capacity deployment will have to be carefully managed,” says the report. “This calls for priority-setting in policymaking.” Two key factors in this policymaking are the technological readiness of alternative decarbonisation solutions and the potential size of local hydrogen demand.
