ABSTRACT

H2 and electricity will likely become the main energy carriers in future low-carbon energy systems. Long-term energy scenarios such as the Energy Technology Perspectives of the International Energy Agency (IEA) [1] and the World Energy Technology Outlook 2050 (WETO-H2) of the European Commission (EC) [2] predict considerable market penetration of emerging H2 production and end use technologies [3]. H2 is expected to be particularly
