Breaking the hard-to-abate bottleneck in China’s path to carbon neutrality with clean hydrogen

Breaking the hard-to-abate bottleneck in China’s path to carbon neutrality with clean hydrogen Abstract Countries such as China are facing a bottleneck in their paths to carbon neutrality: abating emissions in heavy industries and heavy-duty transport. There are few in-depth studies of the prospective role for clean hydrogen in these ‘hard-to-abate’ (HTA) sectors. Here we carry out an integrated dynamic least-cost modelling analysis. Results show that, first, clean hydrogen can be both a major ...
