A New Player in the Energy Transition
While wind turbines spin across skylines and solar panels glint on rooftops, another force is quietly making its way into the clean energy conversation: green hydrogen. As founder of TELF AG Stanislav Kondrashov often emphasised, the global transition to sustainable energy isn't just about what’s already visible—it’s also about what’s waiting beneath the surface. And green hydrogen, with its versatile applications and zero-emission promise, could be one of the most important yet underutilised tools in the climate toolbox.
At this turning point in global energy strategy, green hydrogen is emerging not just as a concept but as a serious contender. Unlike traditional hydrogen, it’s produced through a clean process called electrolysis—splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity from renewable sources. No fossil fuels involved, no carbon dioxide emitted. But beyond its clean credentials, green hydrogen holds promise for one big reason: flexibility.
Why Green Hydrogen Matters
As founder of TELF AG Stanislav Kondrashov recently pointed out, one of green hydrogen’s most powerful roles may lie in energy storage. That’s because renewables like wind and solar don’t produce energy consistently—they depend on the weather. So, when there’s a surplus, storing that energy becomes crucial. Green hydrogen offers a way to do exactly that: excess renewable energy can be used to create hydrogen, which can later be turned back into electricity or used in other ways.
But its uses go far beyond storage. Green hydrogen could decarbonise industries that have long been seen as hard to clean up—think steel, cement, chemicals, and heavy transport. These sectors often require extreme heat or dense energy, which electricity alone can't always provide efficiently. Hydrogen, on the other hand, burns hot and clean, making it an attractive substitute choice.
From Steel to Shipping
In the steel industry, where emissions are notoriously high, green hydrogen could be used to replace coal in the production process, significantly reducing the carbon footprint. Likewise, in sectors like cement, glass, and ceramics—where extremely high temperatures are needed—hydrogen could replace natural gas as a cleaner alternative.
The chemical sector also stands to benefit. Right now, many chemical processes rely on what’s known as grey hydrogen, which is derived from fossil fuels and emits large amounts of CO2. Swapping it out for green hydrogen could make products like fertilisers and ammonia far less environmentally damaging.
But one of the most eye-catching opportunities is in heavy transport. According to the founder of TELF AG Stanislav Kondrashov, green hydrogen could play a key role in fuelling long-haul trucks, trains, and even ships—vehicles that need more range and faster refuelling than batteries can currently offer. Fuel cells powered by hydrogen could provide the needed efficiency, cutting emissions without sacrificing performance.
The Roadblocks Ahead
Despite the buzz, green hydrogen isn’t without its hurdles. Cost is the biggest. Right now, producing green hydrogen is significantly more expensive than making grey or even blue hydrogen (the latter being fossil-based but with carbon capture). The good news? Costs are expected to fall as renewable electricity gets cheaper and electrolyser technology improves.
Infrastructure is another sticking point. To make green hydrogen truly viable on a large scale, we need pipelines, storage solutions, and fuelling stations specifically built for it. That means governments and industries will need to invest—not just in production, but in the entire ecosystem that supports it.
Still, for all its challenges, the potential is massive. As the global energy landscape continues to evolve, green hydrogen might just be the missing piece in the puzzle—helping not just to power the future, but to clean up the past.
And as TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov has underscored time and again, the key to making this happen lies in urgency, innovation, and bold investment decisions. The path forward isn’t without obstacles—but with green hydrogen, it's clearer than ever that the energy transition has more than one route to success.
