POSITION PAPER ON HYDROGEN ECONOMY
Figure 59: National Niche Areas across 10 socio-economic drivers (ASM, 2020)
An exercise was done by mapping the latest hydrogen technologies with the 10 Science and Technology Drivers (Figure 60). Through this exercise, technologies needed to support the development of the hydrogen industry is outlined and need further attention from the respective Center of Excellence. Through developing hydrogen technologies, the energy sector can be transformed. The related technologies can impose a multiplier effect on other socio-economic drivers, such as Agriculture & Forestry, Smart Technology & System, Environment & Biodiversity, Smart Cities & Transportation and Business & Financial Services. For example, an hydrogen-regulated solar energy system can be applied to electricity independent hydroponic systems on a farm.
