Green hydrogen and Power-to-X are essential for a successful transition to a climate-neutral, defossilised economy and society, but they are not inherently sustainable.

This sustainability framework distinguishes the four sustainability dimensions - E(nvironmental), E(conomic), S(ocial) and G(overnance).
