Decarbonization of major energy-consuming sectors is a top priority of the 2015 Paris Agreement and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) climate change 2023 report. Perhaps the most promising strategy for addressing this challenge is the implementation of hydrogen production technologies. These are seen to be a solution for many sectors, including so-called hard-to-abate areas in which it can be used as a feedstock or directly as a fuel. Hydrogen is the worlds cleanest energy source, with around 80 million tons currently being produced annually. Furthermore, production is expected to exceed 200 million tons by 2030, and 500 million tons by 2050, according to the Net Zero Scenario. In this context, power electronics is expected to play an important role in terms of coping with and accelerating current and future plans for hydrogen production and utilization.
