Overview

Decarbonisation of as much of our energy systems as possible is necessary to curb accumulation of CO2 in our atmosphere. Mining and minerals processing present some unique challenges which won't be easily solved. Mining machinery and transport of materials consume enormous quantities of diesel fuel, metals processing requires extremely high temperatures and cement production produces large amounts of CO2. How can green hydrogen be part of decarbonising these industries?
