As the world responds to growing energy security and climate challenges, electrification and hydrogen must work hand-in-hand to build cleaner, more resilient and cost-effective energy systems.
Earlier this month, Türkiye’s COP31 Presidency set a critical target: 35% electrification by 2035 to meet the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C limit. We welcome this important initiative and call on governments to embed hydrogen and its derivatives in their strategies as a complementary solution to drive faster and more cost-effective energy system change.
Two months of Middle East conflict have already cost importing countries in Europe and Asia over USD 100 billion. Energy systems dependent on narrow supply chains cannot withstand such shocks, and concentrated energy sources leave us exposed. Inaction is not an option.
Pairing direct electrification with hydrogen and its derivatives is a strategic opportunity to build a more resilient, diversified energy system in a rapidly-changing world.
Today, a coalition of national and regional hydrogen associations from around the world endorse the CEO-led Call-to-Action: Hydrogen for a resilient world, recently launched by Hydrogen Council. Over 20 associations have committed to these three urgent priorities:
1️⃣ Jetzt handeln – Wasserstoff in Notfallmaßnahmen zur Krisenbewältigung einbinden
2️⃣ Instrumente zur Nachfragegenerierung aktivieren
3️⃣ Investitionen in kritische Infrastruktur stärken
Als global agierendes Unternehmen sind wir bereit, mit Regierungen zusammenzuarbeiten und diese entscheidende Phase anzuführen. Moment des Wandels, Wasserstoff als strategischen Systemtreiber ausbauen und gemeinsam eine eine widerstandsfähigere Welt.
