Hydrogen and transport: the risks should not be underestimated
Description
In November 2019, France's lawmakers passed a law that aims to make the country carbon neutral by 2050. The country's course for the coming 10 years is defined in a multiannual energy programme (PPE) initiated in April 2020 by a ministerial decree. One of the goals in the programme is the development of low-carbon and renewable (i.e., not derived from fossil fuels) hydrogen for industrial, energy and transport applications. Whilst profound societal, economic and behavioural changes throughout France will be necessary to achieve these goals, the fact remains that hydrogen poses risks that must not be overlooked. Against the backdrop of these goals, this flash takes a look back at three events - each at a key stage in the transport of hydrogen - that took place around the globe in 2019
Abstract (French)
La France vise la neutralite carbone en 2050 (loi no. 2019-1147 du 8 novembre 2019 relative a l'energie et au climat). Le gouvernement a defini sa trajectoire pour les dix prochaines annees via la programmation pluriannuelle de l'energie (PPE, decret no. 2020-456 du 21 avril 2020). Parmi les objectifs fixes figure le developpement de l'hydrogene (H2) bas-carbone et renouvelable (energie de fabrication non fossile) dans les usages industriels, energetiques et pour la mobilite. Si l'atteinte de ces objectifs necessite une transformation en profondeur de la societe, de l'economie et des comportements, elle ne doit pas en faire oublier les risques lies a l'utilisation de l'H2. Alors que la France affiche ses objectifs, retour sur trois evenements survenus dans le monde en 2019, chacun lors d'une etape clef du cycle de vie de l'H2 pour la mobilite
