Green Hydrogen Organisation - GH2’s Post

CEP project update: The Centre for Energy Policy at the University of Strathclyde is conducting crucial research on green hydrogen production in Shetland as part of a wider £10M @oceanrefuel project. By harnessing the island's renewable wind power, this research aims to assess the impact on the local economy and long-term sustainability. 🟢 The study seeks to understand how transitioning to green hydrogen production can lead to a more prosperous, low-carbon future for Shetland. The potential benefits include supporting supply chains, creating jobs, and fostering investment in energy transition activities. 🟢 As part of this comprehensive investigation, we are collaborating with key stakeholders, including the Shetland Islands Council and industry partners. This work is vital for shaping sustainable energy practices and understanding how the net zero transition affects the prosperity of local communities. 🟢 Read the project brief for more insights and aims: https://buff.ly/4b1mzMM #Shetland #GreenHydrogen #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #NetZero

We are happy to announce the launch of the NetZeroCitiesEU Project that kicked-off yesterday!  👏   Bellona will be collaborating with the NetZeroCitiesEU #PilotCities programme in Oslo, under the slogan "Power Up a Renewable Society (PURE)". Oslo is one of the 26 cities teaming up to test and implement innovative actions across various decarbonisation fronts, in cooperation with Klimaetaten i Oslo kommune, SINTEF and Hafslund.      ⚡ This pilot project will focus on the electrification of buildings, transport and machinery and will examine the interplay between energy demand, supply and grid adjustment to allow full electrification of these sectors, all while compilating lessons learned that can be implemented by other cities.     Read more on the project & scroll down to check out the Oslo Page here: https://lnkd.in/dPbphPJ6 EU Science, Research and Innovation Klimaetaten i Oslo kommune Hafslund Rådgivning #climateaction #netzerocities #EU #netzero #climateactionnow #decarbonisation #renewables #renewableenergy #climateleadership

With abundant natural resources, Queensland is perfectly placed to be a leading producer of renewable hydrogen 💧🍃 As the world transitions to a low carbon economy, renewable hydrogen has the potential to generate significant trade opportunities by 2030. More than 50 projects are underway in the regions including Gladstone, Townsville and Goondiwindi, set to diversify local economies and keep talent in the community. It's estimated that 10,000 jobs will be supported by the renewable hydrogen industry by 2040 (EY Australia). To seize this opportunity, the Queensland Government has invested more than $5 billion to facilitate industry development and create jobs in Queensland.

The South African Waste to Energy (WtE) Roadmap report focuses on “How can South Africa transition to a sustainable smart energy system, implementing WtE as a resource, and how can different WtE solutions co-exist with other renewable energy technologies in a renewable South African energy system?” We salute Sanedi.org, in partnership with the DSI/NRF/Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) South African Research Chair in Waste and Climate Change at the University of KwaZulu-Natal for this comprehensive report. This is a sector we are already active in, and plan on becoming even more involved in the future. #renewableenergy #climatechange #sustainablity #wastetoenergy #sustainabledevelopment

“Central and Eastern European countries are advancing renewables ambition, but not yet in line with their potential.” Write Dr Paweł Czyżak, PhD and Nolan Theisin in a recent report by Ember. “The upcoming Three Seas Initiative Summit is an opportunity to secure a low cost, resilient and interconnected clean power system.” In 2023, renewable energy accounted for 39% of the electricity generated across the 3SI members, surpassing coal for the first time. However, the full maximization of renewable potential in the region is hindered by factors such as:  🔗 Lack of cross border infrastructure  🎯 Targets for renewable generation are not being ambitious enough and falling below the projected output capacity by 2030  🛑 Administrative bottlenecks CEE TSOs are facing with EU funds, including access to the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). The 3SI region is historically one of the most reliant on fossil fuels for its energy production in Europe. Promoting and aiding its path towards renewable energy sources is critical to ensure Europe as a continent can reach it decarbonisation goals.

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are not just facing a climate crisis; they're facing a battle for survival. With renewable energy as their lifeline, they need our unwavering support to transition and thrive. Let's stand together to power their journey towards a sustainable future. Today at the 4th International Conference on SIDS together with Antigua & Barbuda, Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) through the SIDS Lighthouses Initiative will convene stakeholders to identify innovative financing models, capacity building and accelerating the deployment of #renewableenergy in Small Island Developing States. #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #SupportSIDS #SIDS4 #IRENA #SIDSLHI

🌱 Accelerating renewable energy investment: Moving beyond fossil fuels 🌍 Despite 2023's record growth, #COP28's #3xRenewables commitment remains unmet. International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) highlights insufficient progress in crucial sectors: wind, hydropower, bioenergy, geothermal, and ocean energy. To overcome transition barriers, we must modernize infrastructure, adapt policies, develop skilled workforces, and dramatically scale up financing, especially for developing nations. Developing countries, with immense potential for environmental and socio-economic benefits, receive disproportionately low energy transition investments. Scaling finance in these regions is vital for equitable access to renewables and sustainable development. At Jord, we're dedicated to accelerating this transition. Our focus: enhancing bioenergy production in Senegal and the Dominican Republic through solid biofuel development. Investing in renewable projects in these regions not only advances global sustainability but also empowers local communities and economies. Let's collaborate to diversify renewable energy investment, scale up finance for developing countries, and hasten the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy for a greener future.

Existing fossil fuel capacity is sufficient to meet the 1.5° C-aligned energy demand, according to a recent study by the University College London and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD). The finding is yet another scientific argument to phase out new fossil fuel projects and shift to investments in clean energy.
