Long-term Flexibility and Security of Supply: Why Hydrogen must Take the Leading Role
The energy crisis affecting Europe calls for an accelerated paradigm shift in the power sector. The way forward urges for a fast decarbonisation, one freeing Europe from Russian gas and relying to a great extent on renewable supply sources. Nevertheless, this corresponds to a system with low amounts of dispatchable, or steerable, power generation. A […]
