Hydrogen Council

👏 Congratulations to our member Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company) and Emirates Steel Arkan - EMSTEEL on the inauguration of the MENA region's first renewable hydrogen-based project. This project will participate to the decarbonization of the UAE’s steel sector, by producing green steel, a product sought by manufacturers to support their #NetZero goals. "This project demonstrates world-class innovation as a result of our partnership with EMSTEEL to produce green steel utilizing green hydrogen. Decarbonization of hard-to-abate industries is vital to the global undertaking to achieve the objectives of the historic UAE Consensus agreed at COP28. Green hydrogen is an essential element in advancing national and global decarbonization efforts and we are proud to be at the forefront of that endeavor." Masdar Chief Executive Officer, Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, noted. #hydrogen #decarbonization #greensteel

"To meet our mid-century targets and drive sustainable economic growth, we need another significant investment jump in #hydrogen. With the Middle East’s capacity for strategic investments and commitment to becoming a global hydrogen hub, the region will prove instrumental in this acceleration.” Hydrogen Council CEO, Ivana Jemelkova shared insights on the pivotal role the Middle East can plan in accelerating global hydrogen deployment in this piece published in AGBI - Arabian Gulf Business Insight.

Topsoe and Alfa Laval enter a partnership to speed up the energy transition Topsoe and Alfa Laval have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the aim of entering a long-term strategic partnership for development of cost-competitive and energy-efficient components and solutions to speed up the commercialization of hydrogen and Power-to-X processes. From left to right, signing the agreement at Alfa Laval's headquarters in Lund were: Kim Hedegaard CEO Power-to-X Topsoe, Roeland Baan, President and CEO Topsoe, Tom Erixon, President and CEO Alfa Laval, Madeleine Gilborne, Head of Clean Technologies & Vice President Energy Division Alfa Laval. #EnergyTransition #Hydrogen

Where are we on #hydrogen? According to our latest #HydrogenInsights2024 report, the sector has achieved an impressive seven-fold growth in committed capital in less than four years. Continued growth of the global project pipeline combined with a clear shift to advanced project stages shows that policy and industry efforts made over the past few years are now bearing fruit and hydrogen is becoming a reality of the #energytransition. But there’s much more work ahead. Urgent, joint public-private effort will be critical to accelerate hydrogen uptake as a vital contributor to global decarbonisation.

Advario and Power2X to develop world-scale e-SAF hub in the Port of Rotterdam. Bas Verkooijen, CEO of Advario, noted, “This initiative is a prime example of Advario’s strategy to play a frontrunner role in the energy transition. We are very pleased to enter into this long-term partnership with Power2X, providing essential storage and logistics infrastructure for their world-scale e-SAF facility.” Find out more in the press release 👉 https://lnkd.in/eg-BYfCU

"Policies should reward better GHG performance and drive continuous improvement over time” - this is the key takeaway from the latest International Energy Agency (IEA) report on sustainable fuels produced in support of the Brazil #G20 Presidency. 🔨 The report points to the need for the use of GHG emissions abatement value as the backbone for the design of policy incentives for sustainable fuels, including hydrogen and its derivatives. 👥 Convergence on robust global methodologies for GHG emissions assessment of hydrogen and derivatives is a critical area for collaboration for governments internationally to help build investor trust and unlock private capital. ⚠️ As the next step, in addition to GHG emissions values, other sustainability attributes such as the use of land and water need to be considered. As the report points out, “the absence of unified policy approaches to account for [such attributes] can deter investment and, ultimately, slow down the energy transition.” 🔗Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/giay2xMv José Miguel Bermúdez Menéndez, Paolo Frankl International Energy Agency (IEA), ISO - International Organization for Standardization, UNIDO 

In a recent interview at #Gastech2024, Ivana Jemelkova, CEO of Hydrogen Council, discussed the main findings of our #HydrogenInsights2024 report with Chiranjib Sengupta of Energy Connects.   From significant growth in committed capital and maturing project pipeline, to macroeconomic headwinds and other challenges affecting project delays, they reviewed the progress achieved since 2020 and had a frank conversation about what’s ahead for the industry and #hydrogen’s role in the #energytransition.
