Hydrogen could contribute to less dependence on external energy, particularly if it´s produced from renewable sources such as hydro-electric, wind and solar energy, which is currently undergoing major developments in Portugal. However, it will need to be viewed as an alternative source with a specific market share in the future and not as the only means of generating energy. Despite the fact that the use of hydrogen as a commercial source of energy source is still in the early stages, major steps are being taken on a daily basis to guarantee the sustainable use of this fuel in the economy.
