Green Skills for Hydrogen’s Post

In her opening statement of the 2024 Renewable Hydrogen Coalition summit, the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen highlights the progress made for renewable hydrogen in EU during the last year. The European renewable hydrogen production capacity has increased 4 times and several new projects have reached final investment decision. Von der Leyen specifically points out the significant progress of Stegra (previously H2 Green Steel) and that the green hydrogen production plant that will part of Stegra’s steel production facility is expected to be the largest electrolyser in the world when ready in just a few years. We welcome the support from the European Commission and are looking forward to continued policy that will support production of decarbonized materials, e.g. #greeniron and #greensteal, with #greenhydrogen. #EUETS and #CBAM with a real and firm price on CO2 emissions in industry, an increased #Innovationfund, a scaled EU domestic #hydrogenbank and policy for a continued and accelerated deployment of renewable electricity production will be crucial policies for the future of green hydrogen in EU.

💡 In 2022, the European Commission launched the European Hydrogen Bank 🏦 to create investment security and business opportunities for European and global renewable hydrogen production. Explore further European and national policies, legislations, strategies and codes as well as standards which impact the deployment of hydrogen technologies and infrastructures on the website of the European Hydrogen Observatory. ⬇ #hydrogen #hydrogenproduction #renewablehydrogen #investmentsecurity

🚀 Exciting News for Europe's Hydrogen Revolution! 🌍💧 The EU's commitment to clean energy just got a significant boost! The funding for the second hydrogen auction under the EU Innovation Fund has been increased to a whopping €2 billion. This remarkable investment underscores the region’s dedication to accelerating the adoption of green hydrogen technologies and fostering a sustainable future. The auction, scheduled for June 2024, aims to incentivize hydrogen production, ensuring the transition to renewable energy sources stays on track while bolstering Europe’s energy security. Green hydrogen has the potential to be a game-changer for industries like transportation, manufacturing, and energy storage. 🎯 With this increased funding, innovative projects across Europe will have the opportunity to scale and drive meaningful impact. At a time when climate action is critical, this is a testament to the EU's leadership in pioneering sustainable solutions. Let's make this transition together! 💬 What are your thoughts on hydrogen’s role in the energy landscape?

Is it a good idea to invest in green hydrogen? 💧 The green hydrogen market is booming. All eyes are on it because of its significant advantages in addressing the major challenge of climate change. 🌱 The EU wants to reach 40 GW of electrolysers and 20 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen by 2030 to achieve energy independence. The IPCEI Hy2use project is providing €5 billion for 35 projects in 13 countries. But investment in green hydrogen has risks. The technologies are expensive and there is a lack of infrastructure. Overall, green hydrogen represents a major economic and environmental opportunity, growing from 0.3 GW in 2020 to 137 GW in 2030. 📈 To learn more about the benefits and challenges of investing in green hydrogen, read this article: https://lnkd.in/e33aUFVN #Hydrogen #EmpoweringTransitions #Equans

The European Hydrogen Bank is driving the future of renewable hydrogen in Europe and beyond! 🌍💧 This financial instrument launched in 2022 aims to boost investment security and create opportunities in the renewable hydrogen market The European Hydrogen Bank is paving the way for a sustainable hydrogen economy and a greener energy future for Europe. 🚀 Explore the European policies and legislation which impact the deployment of hydrogen technologies and infrastructures. 👉 https://shorturl.at/PTUm0 #HydrogenObservatory #HydrogenEconomy #CleanHydrogen

🎥 Germany secures EC approval to allocate €350 million to domestic green #hydrogen projects via the European Hydrogen Bank pilot auction, becoming the first country to leverage the platform for funding distribution. This significant move accelerates renewable hydrogen development, bolstering Europe's commitment to #sustainability and advancing its leadership in the global hydrogen economy. #Hydrogen #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability

European clean hydrogen projects and electrolyser manufacturing are being supported as part of a €4.8bn ($5.1bn) Innovation Fund push. With 85 Net Zero projects selected in total, the package is supporting six clean hydrogen production projects and eight electrolyser manufacturing firms. The Innovation Fund using revenues raised from the EU’s emissions trading scheme (ETS), paid by big emitters to award grants for clean energy projects. European Commission Climate Chief, Wopke Hoeskstra, said this latest funding spree demonstrated how the EU ETS is a “great tool in reducing emissions and funding the projects we need to build a climate-neutral and competitive Europe.” Four green hydrogen projects in Belgium, Germany, France and Finland; one Belgian blue hydrogen plant; and a waste-to-hydrogen facility in Sweden are all being supported.

GREEN HYDROGEN FOR SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT Green hydrogen is gaining significant attention within the global energy landscape. As a clean and renewable energy carrier, green hydrogen holds the potential to transform a number of sectors, spanning heavy industries to shipping and aviation. Its benefits are far-reaching, ranging from the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to reinforcing energy security and creating opportunities for green industrialization. The report “GH2 for sustainable industrial development: A Policy Toolkit for Developing Countries” by the UNIDO, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) explores the benefits of green hydrogen production in developing countries as producers and exporters in the future hydrogen market and highlighting the significance of the hydrogen value chain #hydrogen #grenhydrogen #valuechain #electrification #decarbonization #sustainable #renewablenergy #policy #energytransition #hardtoabate #sustainabledevelopment

The shift towards sustainable manufacturing is gaining momentum, and Green Hydrogen is emerging as a game-changer. Here's how it's impacting the industry and creating exciting new opportunities: Decarbonization: By replacing fossil fuels in key processes like steel production and ammonia synthesis, green hydrogen offers a significant path to reducing CO2 emissions and achieving net-zero goals. Energy Security: Green hydrogen, produced from renewable sources like solar and wind, reduces dependence on volatile fossil fuel markets, offering greater energy independence. Innovation & Investment: The demand for green hydrogen is driving innovation in electrolysis technology and infrastructure development, opening doors for new businesses and partnerships. #GreenHydrogen #SustainableManufacturing #Decarbonization #EnergySecurity #Innovation

Hydrogen will be key to decarbonize “hard to abate” sectors and can also be used as feedstock to produce carbon neutral fuels which is vital if we are to meet net zero targets. But there are challenges of long duration storage for green hydrogen. What is the role of hydrogen storage in the UK energy mix? What are the challenges and solutions for hydrogen storage? How will long duration storage maximize renewable generation? What value does hydrogen transport and storage bring to the wider energy system? DNV is proud to be the Knowledge Partner of RenewableUK Green Hydrogen and share insights to advance the industry. Sarah Kimpton will participate in session ‘A4: The challenges of long duration storage for green hydrogen’ at 13:30-14:30 at the ACC in Liverpool: https://lnkd.in/ew2BXsnz #Hydrogen #EnergyTransition #GreenHydrogen #RUKGH24
