Constituting a staggering 75% of normal matter in the observable universe, serving as the fuel for stars, hydrogen is present in almost all organic matter. Its gravimetric energy density of 120 MJ\/kg exceeds that of fossil fuels and Li-ION batteries, which underpins the excitement surrounding hydrogen\u2019s potential as a low-carbon energy source.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note: gravimetric energy density refers to the amount of energy stored per unit of mass \u2013 it\u2019s often referred to as the specific energy.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-different-types-of-hydrogen-and-how-are-they-produced\">What are the different types of hydrogen and how are they produced?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In juxtaposition to its lack of colour and odour, hydrogen is typically classified due to its production method and carbon intensity as part of a colourful spectrum.

Two key areas of contention are safety considerations and scalability (although this is by no means an exhaustive list of challenges).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Safety<\/strong> \u2013 Hydrogen molecules have a very high diffusivity which means that if leaked, gas levels can quickly reach dangerous levels of combustibility. As such, it\u2019s likely there will be different engineering considerations for hydrogen infrastructure compared to existing gas networks. Hydrogen can also cause embrittlement when stored in an untreated metal container; it will eventually force its way through the gaps with steel being particularly susceptible to this process. Embrittlement increases the likelihood of mechanical failure which could lead to a leak or explosion. The risk of embrittlement can be reduced by lining hydrogen-filled containers via electroplating. The nuanced behavioural characteristics of H<sub>2<\/sub> molecules require a level of safety standards that the current infrastructure may not meet. If true, that would mean significant investment to make infrastructure safety compliant.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scaling<\/strong> \u2013 Material costs to build electrolysers are one of the key factors driving the cost per kg of hydrogen. Catalysts are the most expensive materials in an electrolyser, with Iridium typically fetching circa \u00a3130,000 per kg. Building a 1MW electrolyser system capable of producing 400kg\/day can therefore cost between \u00a3350,000 and \u00a3750,000. This would then produce only enough hydrogen to keep 250 cars on the road for 100 miles. Scaling this system to provide enough hydrogen for a fleet of vehicles might prove costly without incorporating subsidies. Together, the expenditure on ancillary components for an electrolyser system, management of electrolytes, infrastructure, and hydrogen storage all lead to higher costs for hydrogen usage compared to traditional fuels.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-capgemini-and-hydrogen-nbsp\">Capgemini and hydrogen.&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stayed tuned for the next instalment of our \u2018Future of Hydrogen\u2019 series, in which we\u2019ll explore the economics of hydrogen and some of the associated scaling challenges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, our industry experts have authored several in-depth reports on hydrogen and its role in decarbonisation.
