📰 Europe’s primary hydrogen research initiative, the #Clean #Hydrogen #Partnership, is poised for a significant budget boost in 2025 as it enters a phase of technology upscaling to advance renewable hydrogen production and deployment. 🔹 2025 priorities: scaling applications in #steelmaking, #trucks, #rail, #maritime; supporting the development of EU-wide hydrogen infrastructure; and creating an open hydrogen market. 🔹 Key funding areas: renewable hydrogen production, including new manufacturing processes for electrolysers, as well as hydrogen storage, distribution (from salt caverns to rock caverns), compression, and modular ammonia cracking. 🔹 Focus shift: less emphasis on road transport, with growing investments in #maritime, #rail, and #“hydrogen #valleys”—regional ecosystems linking production and end use. To date, 16 hydrogen valleys have been funded, with 6 more planned this year, aiming for 25 by the end of 2025. 🔹 New development: The 2025 call is likely to feature, for the first time, a topic on #natural #hydrogen, following an amendment to the partnership’s remit in June 2024 to explore naturally-occurring hydrogen stores. 🔹 Funding and partnerships: €1 billion from #HorizonEurope matched by private investments, plus an 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 €𝟮𝟬𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 from #REPowerEU. The Clean Hydrogen Partnership has also signed new memoranda of understanding with six European regions to share best practices and build local skills. 🔹 Call timeline: The 2025 funding call is expected to be published in 𝗺𝗶𝗱-𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆. This strategic direction aligns with the EU’s climate and energy security goals, supporting the large-scale production of competitive renewable hydrogen and fostering resilient ecosystems for clean energy technologies. #HorizonEurope #Hydrogen #CleanEnergy #EUInnovation #ClimateAction

🌟 Exciting Insights in Hydrogen Energy! 🌟 I recently came across an insightful research paper published in Joule (Impact Factor: 38.6, Elsevier Q1) titled "Competition Between Green and Blue Hydrogen in Global Decarbonization." 🚀🔬 Link:https://lnkd.in/etSkpKEm This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic and environmental viability of blue and green hydrogen, both pivotal in our journey toward global decarbonization. The research delves into how regional factors such as renewable electricity availability, CO2 storage capabilities, and natural gas supply impact the competitiveness of each hydrogen type. 🌍⚡ Key takeaways from the paper include: Green Hydrogen's Edge: In regions with abundant and low-cost renewable energy, such as parts of the EU, green hydrogen is highly competitive. The strict CO2 regulations in these regions further boost its viability by making green hydrogen a more attractive option for industries aiming to reduce their carbon footprint. Blue Hydrogen's Potential: Blue hydrogen shows promise in areas with low natural gas prices and advanced CO2 capture and storage technologies. In the US, for instance, the combination of low natural gas costs and significant subsidies for hydrogen projects supports the economic feasibility of blue hydrogen. Infrastructure Development: The study emphasizes the crucial role of developing hydrogen pipelines and storage facilities to ensure a continuous and efficient hydrogen supply. This infrastructure is essential for both green and blue hydrogen to be scalable and economically viable. Policy and Technological Interplay: The paper highlights the dynamic interplay between policy, technology, and market conditions. Long-term competitiveness for blue hydrogen depends on technological advancements in CO2 capture and the regulation of methane emissions, while green hydrogen benefits from regions with strong renewable energy policies and infrastructure. These findings are pivotal in understanding how to strategically implement hydrogen technologies in different regions, contributing to a sustainable energy future. I'm excited to share this work with you all and look forward to its impact on the energy transition. 🌱🔋 #Hydrogen #EnergyTransition #Decarbonization #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture #Research #Joule #GreenHydrogen #BlueHydrogen

Green hydrogen has the potential to play a crucial role in the transition to a sustainable and low-carbon energy future, offering solutions to multiple challenges facing society. ✅️Electrolysis is the process of using electricity to split water molecules (H2O) into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2). This process occurs in an electrolyzer, which typically contains an electrolyte solution and two electrodes. ✅️ The electricity used in electrolysis for green hydrogen production comes from renewable sources such as wind, solar, or hydroelectric power. These sources ensure that the process is environmentally friendly and doesn't contribute to carbon emissions. ✅️There are different types of electrolyzers used for hydrogen production, including alkaline electrolyzers, polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, and solid oxide electrolyzers. Each type has its own advantages and limitations in terms of efficiency, cost, and scalability. 🌟🌟The efficiency of electrolysis depends on various factors such as the type of electrolyzer, operating conditions, and the quality of renewable energy used. Improving efficiency is crucial for reducing the cost of green hydrogen production. ➡️➡️➡️To make green hydrogen production economically viable on a large scale, there is ongoing research and development focused on improving electrolyzer technology, reducing costs, and integrating renewable energy sources into the grid. Overall, green hydrogen production through electrolysis offers a promising pathway to decarbonize various sectors of the economy and transition to a more sustainable energy future.

Climate Impact Corporation (CIC) and GE Vernova have announced plans for two massive hydrogen projects in outback South Australia and the Northern Territory that would draw water from the atmosphere for electrolysis for conversion to hydrogen. They plan two 10MWH green hydrogen projects that are modular in design, each with atmospheric water generators, solar panels and electrolysers. Chairman and Co-Founder of CIC David Green said “Renewable hydrogen production requires a significant amount of energy and water, which aren’t often found together in places like Australia. “Rather than repeating the same approach, we’re looking to solve this challenge by creating modules that use Australia’s abundant solar resources, combined with proven atmospheric water generation technology." #manufacturing #australianmanufacturing #greenhydrogen #hydrogen #energynews #energytransition

#GreenHydrogen has long been viewed as the energy source of the future. Its breakthrough, however, has yet to happen. A new study by #trr266 researchers Gunther Glenk, Stefan Reichelstein, and Philip Holler (Universität Mannheim) now projects that the cost of green hydrogen is nearing a tipping point. Based on global observations on green hydrogen production facilities commissioned between 2000 and 2020, the authors estimate that the life-cycle cost of green hydrogen production will likely approach the $1.0/kg target set by the U.S. Department of Energy for 2030. As a result, green hydrogen is projected to become widely cost-competitive with traditional hydrogen supply derived from fossil fuels. These findings suggest that the emergence of a green hydrogen market is finally near. Yet, policy support mechanisms remain crucial to ensuring that the innovation processes driving the cost declines can unfold over the coming years. To the blog post: https://lnkd.in/dStn8ExY
