Blues survive late scare to see off their London rivals 2-1 at Stamford Bridge

Ben Chilwell proved to be a super sub for Chelsea as they came from behind to beat London rivals West Ham 2-1 at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Saturday.

Chilwell equalised in the 76th minute, to cancel out Michail Antonio's opener just after the hour mark, and then turned provider for Kai Havertz's winning goal two minutes from time.

But the Blues still had to survive a late Hammers rally, with the visitors convinced they had levelled the game at 2-2 late on through Maxwel Cornet after Chelsea keeper Edouard Mendy had weakly palmed the ball away having dived a the feet of Jarrod Bowen.

But Cornet's effort was ruled out after a VAR check ruled Bowen's trailing leg on Mendy a foul in the build-up.

Hydrogen: Market potential

Hydrogen has an estimated $11 trillion market potential, according to Bank of America Securities and is expected to generate $2.5tn in direct revenues and $11tn of indirect infrastructure by 2050 as its production increases six-fold.

"We believe we are reaching the point of harnessing the element that comprises 90 per cent of the universe, effectively and economically,” the bank said in a recent report.

Falling costs of renewable energy and electrolysers used in green hydrogen production is one of the main catalysts for the increasingly bullish sentiment over the element.

The cost of electrolysers used in green hydrogen production has halved over the last five years and will fall to 60 to 90 per cent by the end of the decade, acceding to Haim Israel, equity strategist at Merrill Lynch. A global focus on decarbonisation and sustainability is also a big driver in its development.
