What are they?
Green molecules, like green hydrogen and its derivatives, are chemical compounds produced from raw materials or renewable energies and from circular economy processes with low or zero carbon emissions.
Why are they important for the energy transition?
These compounds are essential to driving the energy transition, as they promote the decarbonization of difficult-to-electrify sectors, such as heavy transport (maritime, air, and long-distance land). In other words, they are an alternative solution for heavy industries that cannot use direct electricity. They replace traditional fossil fuels with renewable alternatives. Estos compuestos son fundamentales para impulsar la transición energética, ya que favorecen la descarbonización de sectores difíciles de electrificar, como el transporte pesado (marítimo, aéreo y terrestre de larga distancia). Dicho de otro modo, son una solución alternativa para industrias pesadas que no pueden usar electricidad directa. Reemplazan a los combustibles fósiles tradicionales mediante alternativas de origen renovable.
