“ Global cooperation can drive down costs and ensure a sustainable energy transition .”
essential to build the workforce needed to support the hydrogen economy .
What is your vision for the future of green hydrogen from now until 2050 ?
By 2050 , my hope is that all hydrogen can be produced without CO 2 emissions . Achieving this requires significant advancements in technology , policy support , and global cooperation . Regions with optimal conditions should lead in production , while areas like the EU focus on technology development and equipment manufacturing . Ultimately , reducing our overall consumption and integrating innovative solutions will be key to a sustainable future .

conditions for green hydrogen production is essential . This global cooperation can drive down costs and ensure a sustainable energy transition . Effective policies can incentivise the adoption of green technologies and create a favourable environment for investment and innovation .
What challenges do you foresee in achieving widespread adoption of green hydrogen ?
One of the main challenges is the high cost of green hydrogen compared to grey hydrogen . Policy measures , such as carbon pricing and subsidies , can help bridge this gap . Additionally , public acceptance and market readiness are crucial ; consumers and industries must be willing to pay a premium for green products until costs come down . Overcoming these challenges requires coordinated efforts from governments , industry , and the public . Investments in education and training are also
