Creating a zero-emission energy system has been proven to be a challenging endeavor. Decreasing costs of renewable energy, such as wind and solar energy, are encouraging people to hypothesize that an era of affordable renewable electricity is nigh. Affordable electricity production alone however will not result in a zero-emission energy system. Electrons are difficult to store and they cannot be used to power many applications, e.g., a trans-ocenanic aircraft. The last puzzle to the energy transition will be the development of large scale, flexible, and zero-emission energy storage solutions. In this quest for an appropriate, large-scale energy storage media, hydrogen appears to have many benefits, such as ease of storage in large quantities, flexibility of use, and efficient conversion to other forms of energy.In this talk, worldwide primary energy consumption will be discussed in order to assess the required changes to the current energy system. Next, the challenges associated with a transition to a renewable-powered energy system will be discussed. Finally, the role of hydrogen as a storage media and fuel of the future will be assessed.
