I. INTRODUCTION
A net zero energy system must include hydrogen, which also
plays a significant role in decarbonizing sectors like heavy
industrial and long-distance transportation that are
challenging to electrify.
All hydrogen types (green hydrogen), present a realistic
opportunity for reducing the carbon footprints of hard-to-
abate and hard-to-electrify sectors such as chemical, steel,
shipping, aviation, and long-haul transportation. Dependent Fig. 1: Electrolysis Steam Gas Reforming and Pyrolysis [3]

There are now six major types of hydrogen fuel cells in use.
Depending on their working temperature, these fuel cell types
can convert various gases into electricity, employ various
electrolytes, and be categorized as low, medium, or high
temperature fuel cells. The following categories shown in
table 1 are explicitly attributed to each type of fuel cell:

With modern technology, a lot of coal is needed to produce
iron and steel. On average, 1.85 tons of CO2 are emitted into
the atmosphere for every ton of steel produced.
Two steps are usually included in the manufacture of steel:

2) Impact of green hydrogen steel production in
Germany.
Given a 50–55 kWh supply to 1 kg of hydrogen and 50 kg of
hydrogen to produce a ton of steel, the annual production of
42 Mt of steel in Germany—the top producer of steel in the
EU—would require around 100 TWh of renewable energy.
This extra 100 TWh of electricity would result in a 20% rise
in Germany's overall electricity demand.

A ton of steel currently costs around €400 to produce,
including the roughly €50 needed for the coal used in Thus, green hydrogen will play an important role due to
