Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier – DOE
🧠 What It Means
Carries energy from renewables or fossil fuels.
Allows decoupling of production and use.
Useful in sectors hard to electrify directly.
❗ Key Challenges
Energy is lost in conversion and transport.
Needs efficient storage and infrastructure.
Competing energy carriers (like batteries) are advancing fast.
