But hydrogen can be cleanly produced and, with the right guardrails in place, that clean hydrogen can then be used to clean up polluting parts of the economy that can’t readily convert to running on renewable electricity. Otherwise, hydrogen will slow the clean energy transition, not speed it. the “three pillars”).
