Hydrogen has the potential to play a significant role in the energy transition. Its high energy density and the fact it allows clean, long-term storage and transportation of large volumes, make it a viable option in a low carbon society.
Tougher legislation, climate change and an increasing demand for sustainable solutions are accelerating investment in the commercialisation of hydrogen solutions.
"As a leader in science that makes the world cleaner and healthier, our commitment to developing leading hydrogen technologies as enablers for the future energy mix is long-standing," said JM chief executive, Robert MacLeod.
"It is based on decades of R&D and commercialisation of new technologies plus a thorough understanding of their applications, which gives us confidence in hydrogen's viability and competitiveness.
