Global energy systems are undergoing a structural transformation driven by the urgency of climate change mitigation, long-term sustainability concerns, and the need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The Paris Agreement and subsequent national commitments to carbon neutrality by mid-century have reinforced the necessity of deep and rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors of the economy. Although renewable electricity generation—particularly solar photovoltaics and wind power—has expanded significantly over the past decade, the electrification of final energy demand faces intrinsic limitations in sectors characterized by high-temperature industrial processes, energy-dense fuels, and long-duration storage requirements [1]. Green hydrogen has … Continue reading →
