Hydrogen is the fuel of the stars and makes our life possible. Humanity, however, is still in its infancy in harnessing fusion nuclear power as an energy source, so the role of hydrogen on Earth is different - at least for the moment. Traditionally, it already works as a raw material for many industrial processes, for example oil refining. A new, climate-based need is to utilize clean hydrogen in industrial processes that replace fossil-based production.

It's only been four years since Finland's natural gas imports were entirely dependent on the Russian pipeline connection.

In an amazingly short time, Finland has changed gas monopoly to global LNG market.
