The momentum that got underway in Q4 is set to increase as EU regulations now require green hydrogen producers to source renewable electricity through power purchase agreements. Under the European rules, eligible facilities must be no older than 36 months, and government aid cannot be used to subsidise the facility. The milestone news is tempered somewhat by ongoing renewable project permitting and grid...

Situation In 2015, at the 21st Conference of the Parties in Paris, 195 countries signed a legally binding agreement to engage in outlining and implementing national strategies to keep global warming “well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels.” Achieving this target will require a monumental change in how we use and consume materials and energy. Energy is one of the most carbon-intensive...

The region has a far higher market share than any other and is continuing to invest heavily in hydrogen capacity and infrastructure Western Europe holds a nearly 50% market share of active hydrogen projects, more than double its closest competitor (Asia, with 20%, according to the GEI database). For decades, Western Europe...

The European steel industry needs five million tonnes of green hydrogen a year to fully decarbonise and the European Hydrogen Bank (EHB) funding mechanism is not furnished with enough cash to achieve this, Europe’s steel production trade association has told Hydrogen Insight. Steel producers need green hydrogen to cleanly extract iron from ore through the direct-iron reduction (DRI) process, in place...

From Uche Usim, Washington DC The World Bank, on Monday, said that Nigeria and other Emerging Markets and Developing Countries (EMDCs) require a whooping $600 billion investments to achieve the clean hydrogen energy project by 2030. The largest hydrogen project under construction is in Saudi Arabia, which is projected to come on stream in 2026. To make the funding less...

In this article we track the progress of global hydrogen projects, take a look at the bottom-up modelling of market demand, and projections for the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH).  After delays in final investment decisions (FIDs) for green hydrogen projects across 2022 and 2023, key bottlenecks could start to clear at the end of 2024, driven by regulatory certainty in the US, and USD 36bn of...

Hamburg-based H2Global, a foundation dedicated to accelerating the emergence of markets for clean hydrogen and other low-emissions technologies, and the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to cooperate in the field of clean hydrogen.Courtesy of JOGMEC The MoU was signed by Ichiro Takahara, Chairman & CEO of JOGMEC, and...

The total support requested far exceeds the currently available budget of €800 million, provided by the Innovation Fund. Kurt Vandenberghe, Director-General for Climate Action, said: “The applications are in and the enthusiastic market response to the pilot auction shows the European hydrogen industry is ready to scale up! Renewable hydrogen is an important solution in Europe’s endeavour to...
