Getting Electrification Right: The broader challenge of induced emissions

Getting Electrification Right: The broader challenge of induced emissions

Jun 12, 2025 | Electrification, Energy, Hydrogen, Industry

Sandbag’s latest report explores how the climate impact of electricity use depends not just on how it’s generated, but also when and where it’s consumed. Using hydrogen as a case study, the report shows how poorly timed renewable electricity use can unintentionally drive-up fossil fuel emissions — and outlines smarter paths to decarbonisation.
