Digital technology and the future of clean energy
For hydrogen to achieve the scale and affordability needed to meet net zero ambitions, the sector must embrace digitalisation. The hydrogen industry is at a pivotal moment, with years of policy support and investment momentum driving significant growth. While there are some economic challenges, the overall outlook remains positive, with continued advancements and strong support from global initiatives. Digital technologies play a significant role in overcoming some of the barriers that the industry faces, driving efficiencies, reigniting investment, and enabling hydrogen to fulfil its potential.
What could a digital hydrogen future look like? It would mean a global hydrogen supply chain, tracked by blockchain, moving green fuel from Australia to the US – and everywhere in between. AI optimises production, storage, and distribution, onsite and in transit. Smart contracts ensure seamless trading, while industries and transport systems integrate hydrogen into their energy mix. As costs fall and adoption rises, hydrogen could supply 20% of the world’s energy by 2050, which is the Hydrogen Council’s current target.
