It is a useful stepping stone to produce substantial new amounts of hydrogen to power new applications such as transport and steel making, but needs to be phased out by 2050. The production of large amounts of green or fossil free hydrogen by 2050 powered by fossil free electricity from renewables and nuclear power must be operational by 2050, when all the world’s PRIMARY energy must be supplied by green electricity.
