Technology advances are rapidly enhancing the production of low-carbon hydrogen. More efficient electrolysers can now integrate seamlessly with intermittent renewable energy sources, while artificial intelligence (AI) is improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions in hydrogen production processes. AI also enables the integration of carbon capture technologies with traditional hydrogen production methods, streamlining the production of blue hydrogen. Future technological advances will be vital to scaling a low-carbon hydrogen economy, as is the substantial investment required to deploy and scale these technologies, ensuring an increasing number of low-carbon hydrogen projects move from concept to commercialisation.
