Hydrogen is an essential element in the energy transition and can account for 24% of final energy demand and 5.4m jobs by 2050, says the study by the FCH JU, “Hydrogen Roadmap Europe: A sustainable pathway for the European Energy Transition“ published in February 2019. Developed with input from 17 leading European industrial actors, the study lays out a pathway for the large-scale deployment of hydrogen and fuel cells until 2050 and quantifies the associated socio-economic impacts.
