Managing hydrogen emissions is key to maximizing climate benefits as hydrogen use expands

Published 4.6.2026

Current estimates of hydrogen’s climate impact are now sufficiently robust to inform policy and business decision-making, according to researchers in a new review article on the climate impacts of hydrogen emissions.

Leading experts to investigate climate impacts of a hydrogen economy in new research project

Published 4.9.2024

Pulling together experts on hydrogen from 12 institutions throughout Europe, HYway, a new research project funded by the European Union sets out to provide an understanding of the climate and environmental risks and co-benefits of a hydrogen economy – and to advise on options for addressing those risks.

NOREGRET: Norway in the European green transition

Norway’s climate target to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and become a low-emissions society by 2050, will require significantly stronger climate and energy policies. In NOREGRET, social and energy scientists are studying how such a transition can be carried out.

HYDROGEN

Hydrogen is often considered a green energy carrier that has the potential to replace oil, but little is known about its environmental and climate impacts. Over the next three years, CICERO will therefore study what these impacts are.

Climate impacts of hydrogen leakages

There is growing global interest in using hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels. Despite the enthusiasm for promoting a shift to a hydrogen-based economy, the environmental challenges of this transition are not well understood, making it essential to thoroughly evaluate its impact on the climate and environment before a large-scale hydrogen adoption takes place. The HYDROGEN project was established to provide this critical knowledge for the hydrogen industry and policy makers. Join us 29 October in Oslo for the final conference of the project to get new insights into the climate impact of hydrogen.
