The Green Hydrogen Paradigm Shift

ABSTRACT

The change from a global economy dependent upon fossil fuels to renewable fuels for an hydrogen economy is occurring now. Not in 50 to 60 years, but the hydrogen economy is underway today. This “paradigm shift” is one as significant and dramatic as the Industrial Revolution itself. And more importantly, it is not an adjustment or cycle or bubble. Indeed, the hydrogen economy is upon us now, and every nation and community is now experiencing the transitions therein.

This article addresses that paradigm shift but also the immediate economic and business development for any region or nation-state. More significantly, when the production of hydrogen is derived from renewable energy resources, not only are there societal benefits but also sustainable economic growth. Some of the immediate evidence can be seen in California, where “civic markets” are indeed working, but also with the combination of infrastructures into hybrid systems. Herein the combination of hydrogen for stationary power with transportation fuel needs is expediting the paradigm change into economic feasibility today—not in the next Century.
