Hydrogen ETF Provides Access to the Energy of the Future

As the global climate warms, governments around the world are committing to a carbon-free future. Hydrogen is seen as part of the solution – as a clean energy source of the future. You can invest in hydrogen stocks and profit from this trend with our Hydrogen ETF, the VanEck Hydrogen Economy UCITS ETF.

Hydrogen can be produced from water and, if produced with renewable energy, does not contribute to atmospheric CO2. In addition, its high energy density makes it more suitable than electric batteries for powering particularly heavy objects such as aircraft and ships.

Hydrogen ETF allows to invest in hydrogen that is the future's clean energy source

The application areas of hydrogen are diverse

Hydrogen is increasingly being hailed as the energy source of the future. There have been 680 major project proposals worth $240 billion, but only about 10% ($22 billion) have reached a final investment decision. Europe leads in proposed projects (~30%), China is slightly ahead in actual deployment of electrolyzers (200 MW), while Japan and South Korea lead in fuel cells (more than half of the 11 GW global production capacity).1

Looking ahead to 2050 – the date by which many major economies aim to be carbon neutral – leading consultancies predict that hydrogen will play an important role in a wide range of applications. These include: Buses, ships, current buffers, industrial heating, building heating, steel production etc2. As wind turbines and solar cells become more widespread, a low-cost renewable energy source will be available to power the electrolysers used to produce hydrogen.

Please note that hydrogen as a form of energy is still fully in the development stage. Many hurdles of a technical and infrastructure nature still need to be overcome. There is no guarantee that the projected growth will occur.
