With its versatile properties and potential to serve sectors requiring high energy density, such as heavy industry and long-distance transportation, hydrogen is at the center of scientific, technological, and political debates about sustainability. This article presents a critical review of the main hydrogen production routes, the challenges still pending, and the opportunities that arise with its consolidation as a clean source.
Hydrogen as a Path to a Sustainable Future
Beyond production routes, the technological and economic challenges related to the storage, transportation, and distribution of hydrogen remain significant. The high cost of electrolysis, logistical complexity, and the lack of a structured global supply chain hinder the rapid scalability of hydrogen as an alternative fuel.
However, with increasing global demand, innovations and specific public policies—such as subsidies, regulations, and research investments—are expected to accelerate the sector's development. The viability of hydrogen as a sustainable solution will largely depend on a coordinated effort between governments, industries, and research centers to make this promise a concrete reality in the coming decades.
