Bosch UK Director Discusses Hydrogen's Decarbonising Power
Key Ideas
  • Hydrogen has the potential to cut up to 20% of global emissions by revolutionizing industries across the UK, from transportation to powering offices and factories.
  • Bosch is extensively involved in the hydrogen value chain, investing in technology for electric vehicles, heat pumps, and hydrogen goods production in China, Germany, and the US.
  • Governments play a crucial role in scaling hydrogen by providing a conducive regulatory and funding framework, avoiding technology bias, and incentivizing both supply and demand sides equally.
  • Consumer incentives to choose hydrogen include faster refueling, zero local emissions, efficient energy storage for homes and businesses, and potential to decarbonize existing petrol and diesel-engine cars with hydrogen-based synthetic fuels.
Steffen Hoffman, Managing Director of Bosch UK & Ireland, discusses the decarbonising power of hydrogen and the necessary steps to scale it sustainably. Hydrogen has the potential to revolutionise various industries in the UK by cutting global emissions by up to 20%. Bosch is deeply involved in the entire hydrogen value chain, from production to usage, and invests in technologies for electric vehicles, heat pumps, and hydrogen goods production worldwide. Governments must create a supportive regulatory and funding framework to scale hydrogen effectively, avoiding technology bias and incentivizing investments on both supply and demand sides. Consumer incentives for choosing hydrogen include faster refueling, zero local emissions, efficient energy storage, and the potential to decarbonize existing vehicles. The future sees hydrogen playing a significant role in daily life, powering heavy-duty vehicles, decarbonising industrial processes, and storing surplus renewable energy. With political leadership and strong investment, hydrogen can lead to a cleaner and more sustainable future.
