How can hydrogen make electrification better? Why should we be thinking hydrogen when we think electrification?
15:56
That's a very important point because, as you mentioned, I mean, sometimes people oppose one or the other, but really there is a complementarity between electrification and the deployment of hydrogen.
16:10
And as a matter of fact, you have many sectors which are the hard to electrify sectors, being in the industry or being in the mobility.
16:20
And that's where actually hydrogen can play a role because of the features of hydrogen.
16:27
You take some of the manufacturing processes, I was mentioning refining, but also chemical and to some extent some of the steel processes, electricity cannot do the job.
16:40
And to bring energy, resilience, but also low carbon, hydrogen has a role to play.
16:48
As a matter of fact, we see clearly that it's helping both in terms of low carbon, but also in terms of resilience.

Can you tell us a little bit more about what it is? What problem is it trying to solve? And what is it that we're actually calling for?
