3. Hydrogen, the new energy carrier and synthetic fuels

Hydrogen and electricity are both carbon free energy carriers that can be produced from fossil energy resources as well as from renewable energy sources

Lately, hydrogen is becoming an area of great interest for IENE. Hydrogen and electricity are both carbon free energy carriers that can be produced from fossil energy resources as well as from renewable energy sources.

Technically and efficiently producing hydrogen from renewable energy sources is a key enabler for the development of a unique energy resource base that provides low or zero emission energy to all energy consuming sectors.

Currently, the technology of choice for producing renewable ‘green’ hydrogen is water electrolysis using renewable electricity. This is an area of continuous engagement for IENE, which is pursuing its study and possible applications in the SEE region in close cooperation with industry and academic research centers.
