Current highlight

New paper in Nature Energy on the market ramp-up of electrolysis for green hydrogen production. We show that green hydrogen suffers from short-term scarcity and long-term uncertainty if it grows as fast as wind and solar power have done, the growth-rate champions of the energy transition. These issues could be overcome by unconventionally high growth rates, experienced for certain technologies under specific circumstances in the past.
