Hydrogen – just a Hype?

Green hydrogen, generated using electricity from renewable energy sources, is a climate-friendly form of energy that can be used in a variety of ways. The role of hydrogen in the fight against climate change and possible areas of application continue to spark debate across science, politics, and industry. In our Bosch Hydrogen Expert Talk, Matthias Ziebell, Senior Vice President for Sales, Energy Markets and Business Development at Bosch, shares his insights on why green hydrogen can become a key player for future energy requirements – and why, despite the challenging journey toward a green hydrogen future, he remains optimistic.

Just A H₂ype? In the first episode of the Bosch Hydrogen Expert Talk with Matthias Ziebell, we get to the bottom of this question.

The first episode in short

Matthias Ziebell, Senior Vice President for Sales, Energy Markets and Business Development at Bosch, is convinced that hydrogen will play a key role in reducing CO₂ emissions in the energy system of the future. He emphasises that green hydrogen is important for reducing CO₂ emissions in the industrial and transport sectors. At the same time, green hydrogen can be used to store energy in the long term.

Good reasons for hydrogen

  • Icon reduction of emissions
    Hydrogen can be produced and used without emitting CO₂ or other pollutants.
  • Icon raw material
    In the chemical industry hydrogen is used as a raw material for many (synthesis) processes.
  • Icon fuel
    Hydrogen-fueled commercial and rail vehicles can make a valuable contribution to decarbonization.
  • Icon storage medium
    Renewable energy can be stored and transported in hydrogen and its derivatives, such as ammonia and methane.
