Oxford Institute for Energy Studies – Review of Hydrogen Leakage along the Supply Chain

Oxford Institute for Energy Studies – Review of Hydrogen Leakage along the Supply Chain: Environmental Implications examines the potential environmental impacts of hydrogen leakage throughout its supply chain. The report highlights that hydrogen, while a clean energy carrier at the point of use, can have indirect global warming effects if leaked into the atmosphere. Hydrogen emissions can extend the atmospheric lifetime of methane and other greenhouse gases, thereby contributing to climate change. The analysis underscores the need for comprehensive measures to monitor and mitigate hydrogen leakage to ensure that its deployment as an energy solution does not inadvertently exacerbate environmental issues.
