Vätgas förväntas spela en viktig roll i övergången till ett klimatneutralt samhälle. Även om vätgas inte är en växthusgas med direkt inverkan på klimatet, så finns det stora kunskapsluckor kring dess indirekta miljö- och klimatpåverkan. Det Horizon Europe-finansierade forskningsprojektet HYway syftar till att fylla igen dessa kunskapsluckor. Vi har pratat med David Wårlind från Lunds universitet s
