Overview Report on Hydrogen

The Swiss Federal Council’s report on hydrogen outlines its increasing importance in achieving the net-zero emissions goal by 2050. Hydrogen, primarily produced from renewable energy, is expected to play a crucial role in sectors where direct electrification is challenging, such as industry, aviation, and heavy transport. The report emphasizes the need for a robust domestic hydrogen market, supported by local production until imports become viable around 2035. It also highlights the necessity of regulatory frameworks and infrastructure development to facilitate hydrogen production, storage, and transport. The AFDD goals focus on integrating hydrogen into the energy system to enhance energy security and sustainability.
