North Africa’s green hydrogen exports to Europe could harm water supply and marine life: study

A recent study suggests that exporting green hydrogen from North Africa to Europe could have unintended consequences for the region's water supply and marine life. The research found that producing green hydrogen in desert areas requires significantly more water than previously claimed, raising concerns about the long-term sustainability of this emerging industry. This could have significant implications for the region's ecosystem and potentially undermine the environmental benefits of green hydrogen.

Why it matters

Green hydrogen production needs more water than claimed, which could harm water supply and marine life. This could lead to environmental concerns and impact the industry's growth.
