The Ukraine war has shown the heavy toll military conflict takes not just on people but also on the planet, say experts at the UN climate summit in Egypt.

From oil giant to green powerhouse?

The main advantage of green hydrogen is that it provides enormous power generation with zero emissions. On the other hand, it is an explosive chemical, and the cost of generating it makes it still more expensive than traditional hydrocarbons.
Despite all this, Strategy& estimates that the demand for green hydrogen will grow swiftly in the future, reaching 530 million tons and potentially displacing roughly 10.4 billion of barrels of oil by 2050.
