abstract = {Hydrogen (H$_{2}$) could be used as one of the major
components in our future energy supply in an effort to avoid
greenhouse gas emissions. ”Green” hydrogen in
particular, which is produced from renewable energy sources,
should significantly reduce emissions that damage the
climate. Despite this basically environmentally-friendly
property, however, the complex chain of interactions of
hydrogen with other compounds means that the implications
for the atmosphere must be analysed in detail. For example,
H$_{2}$ emissions, which could increase the tropospheric
H$_{2}$ inventory, can be released throughout the complete
hydrogen process chain. H$_{2}$ enters the stratosphere via
the tropical tropopause and is oxidised there to form water
vapour (H$_{2}$O). This extra water vapour causes increased
radiation in the infrared region of the electromagnetic
spectrum and thus causes the stratosphere to cool down. Both
the increase in H$_{2}$O and the resulting cooling down of
the stratosphere encourage the formation of polar
stratospheric clouds (PSC) and liquid sulphate aerosols,
which facilitate the production of reactive chlorine, which
in turn currently leads to dramatic ozone depletion in the
polar stratosphere. In the future, H$_{2}$ emissions from a
global hydrogen economy could therefore encourage
stratospheric ozone depletion in the polar regions and thus
inhibit the ozone layer in recovering from the damage caused
by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). In addition to estimating
possible influences on the trace gas composition of the
stratosphere, one of the main aims of this thesis is to
evaluate the risk associated with increased polar ozone
depletion caused by additional H$_{2}$ emissions. Studies
reported on here have shown that even if around 90\% of
today’s fossil primary energy input was to be replaced by
hydrogen and if around 9.5\% of the gas was to escape in a
”worst-case” scenario, the additional ozone loss for
unchanged CFC loading in the stratosphere would amount to a
maximum of between around 4 and 7\% (15 - 26 Dobson Units
[DU]). A consistency check of the applied approximation
technique with the chemistry-transport model, CLaMS, shows
that this estimate is more than likely the upper limit. If
more realistic estimates are made of future hydrogen
emission rates, then additional ozone depletion is rather
low (≤ 2.5\% ≈ 10 DU). Furthermore, the adverse effects
only fully come into play, if CFC quantities remain static.
Due to the CFC phase-out in the Montreal Protocol, current
forecasts predict a decrease of about 50\% in CFC loading by
2050, whereby the added effect would amount to less than 1\%
(≤ 4 DU). When compared to the positive effect on the
climate, if greenhouse gas emissions are avoided, the damage
potential of H2 emissions caused by a global hydrogen
economy for stratospheric ozone depletion is therefore very
low.},
