The smarter E Podcast Episode 88 | April 14, 2022 | Language: English

With the end of fossil fuels now clearly in sight in the near future, hydrogen is increasingly taking center stage in the search for efficient alternatives. Such alternatives are crucial for the successful long-term implementation of the energy transition in all sectors and for climate protection. The German government is convinced that green hydrogen will play a central role in this as a versatile emission-free energy carrier. What are the economic and commercial opportunities for the European Union? And what role do countries like Qatar play? This and more is revealed to us by Prof. Dr. Veronika Grimm, among others director of the Center Hydrogen.Bavaria (H2.B) and member of the German Council of Economic Experts ("Wirtschaftsweisen").
