Hydrogen

The integration of emission-free hydrogen is a central pillar in the implementation of the energy transition. Particularly in sectors of the economy that are difficult to decarbonise, hydrogen can make a significant contribution to replacing fossil fuels. The goal is a technically feasible and economically efficient integration of this energy carrier into the sustainable energy system of the future.

In a particularly dynamic market environment, investors, grid operators, consumers and regulators alike are confronted with major challenges and complex issues. In addition to a massive expansion of renewable energies for the required provision of green electricity, there are also questions to be answered about investment decisions, infrastructure design and market design.

To support the development of a hydrogen economy, E-Bridge not only employs consultants who have been dealing with the issues of the hydrogen economy for years, but also regularly publishes the price indexes “Hydex” and “HydexPLUS” as well as the H2 Barometer to regularly assess the investment climate in the hydrogen economy.
