On the Way to Utilizing Green Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier—A Case of Northern Sweden

Low or even zero carbon dioxide emissions will be an essential requirement for energy supplies in the near future. Besides transport and electricity generation, industry is another large carbon emitter. Hydrogen produced by renewable energy provides a flexible way of utilizing that energy. Hydrogen,...
