Hydrogen in a Low-Carbon Energy System
“Low carbon” Hydrogen (produced from renewables, fossil with carbon capture, or other clean technologies) is a clean, flexible energy carrier that supports deep decarbonisation across power, heat, industry and transport. As a fuel, hydrogen produces no direct emissions at the point of use and can be derived from a range of low- and zero-carbon sources.
Hydrogen can be produced in a range of ways, including from renewable energy, from industrial processes or from methane.
It can be used in internal combustion engines, fuel cells or hybrid systems and is well suited to sectors that are difficult to electrify. Hydrogen also enables long-duration storage, balancing variable renewable generation, and can be transported and stored using existing gas infrastructure with appropriate upgrades.
Hydrogen plays a key role in achieving net-zero targets by reducing emissions in energy-intensive applications and providing a pathway to clean dispatchable power.
Benefits of Hydrogen as a Fuel
Versatile zero-carbon fuel for electricity, heat, transport and storage, supporting a wide range of applications across power generation, industry and energy systems.
Enables deep decarbonisation of sectors that are hard to electrify, providing a practical pathway to reduce emissions where direct electrification is not feasible.
Supports renewable integration and energy system flexibility, by storing surplus renewable power as hydrogen and enabling dispatchable, low-carbon energy when needed.
Sustainability Features of Hydrogen
Renewable Gas
Hydrogen produced via electrolysis supports the transition to green, zero-carbon fuels.
Renewable Enablement
Hydrogen enables storage of excess solar and wind energy for use when needed.
Carbon Utilisation
Low-carbon hydrogen produced from natural gas with CCS reduces industrial emissions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hydrogen
Technical and Engineering
What are the main applications of hydrogen in the energy sector?
Hydrogen is used for power generation, heating, and long-duration energy storage. It can decarbonise gas distribution networks or directly fuel internal combustion engines, fuel cells, or hybrid systems.
Can hydrogen be used in gas engines for electricity generation?
Yes – hydrogen-ready engines, such as those from INNIO Jenbacher, can operate on hydrogen blends or 100% hydrogen to generate electricity and heat.
How is green hydrogen produced from renewable electricity?
Green hydrogen is made through electrolysis, where renewable electricity is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen without emitting carbon.
Can geologically produced “white” hydrogen be used in gas engines?
Yes, subject to being produced in sufficient consistent volumes and is being actively explored as a source of energy by data center operators.
Financial and Commercial
Are hydrogen infrastructure projects eligible for government incentives?
Yes – many governments offer grants, subsidies, and tax credits to support the deployment of low-carbon hydrogen infrastructure and technology.
How can investing in hydrogen reduce long-term energy costs?
Hydrogen can displace fossil fuels, support energy price stability, and help facilities avoid future carbon penalties, making it a strategic decarbonisation investment.
