#Newsflash! President Lula has just sanctioned the Low-Carbon Hydrogen Bill at Complexo do Pecém. We at Kingdom of the Netherlands in Brazil are thrilled about the boost that this regulatory framework will give to #greenhydrogen industry development and proud that the signing took place at Complexo do Pecém, where a green energy corridor is being created between Rotterdam and Brazil. This collaboration underscores the strength of our bilateral cooperation between the Netherlands and Brazil and both countries' commitment to the energy transition. https://lnkd.in/dhm9d78M #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy #BrazilNetherlandsCooperation #HydrogenEconomy #Sustainability #SolvingGlobalChallengesTogether

Germany and Australia's $444 million green hydrogen auction marks a critical step in accelerating the global transition to clean energy. This partnership not only strengthens economic ties but also creates a vital framework for scaling hydrogen production and reducing global emissions. Potentially, the initiative could produce up to 30 million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2050, setting the stage for a new era of renewable energy trade! And for Australia, this is more than an export opportunity, it's a chance to position itself as a renewable energy superpower, aligning with global net zero ambitions. #GreenHydrogen #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #NetZero

The critical element in the article is, in my mind, "With short distances for more sustainable energy". I understand the theoretical logic behind the request but, considering the offshore renewable developments happening all around (around is the right word I think...) Europe, I do not see how the developments planning could fit the requirements. Let's consider the renewable projects being developed in Southern Europe for example; I do not believe that the business model for such projects is to have the electricity to be entirely sold locally; at the same time there are no clear guidelines on how to sell the energy produced in Sicily (for example) outside the Italian territory. Without such arrangements, e.g. the ability to produce energy where is most technically feasible and to transport it where is needed, how can we build a renewable and green energy network? #renewableenergy #windpower #energytransmission #agreements #powernetwork

Germany on Monday approved €4.6 billion ($5 billion) in state subsidy funding for 23 green hydrogen projects that it believes will play a key role in decarbonizing its economy. The projects will have 1.4 gigawatts of electrolyzer capacity using renewable electricity to produce green hydrogen, storage for around 370 gigawatt hours, and up to 2,000 kilometers of pipelines to transport hydrogen. They will also support the construction of import-handling terminals for liquid organic hydrogen carriers with the capacity to transport 1,800 tons annually of liquid hydrogen.

🤝 Here’s a prime example of a mutually beneficial partnership between two countries to boost #greenhydrogen production and application. Germany 🇩🇪 has signed an agreement with Morocco 🇲🇦 to support the country’s renewable H2 production with plans to import the green alternative in the future. The development of a hydrogen economy will support both countries, taking advantage of Morocco’s renewable energy potential and serving Germany’s ambition to #decarbonize its industry. 👉 As Germany’s Development Minister Svenja Schulze stressed, the green hydrogen economy needs to be “different from how the fossil fuel world economy ever was.” That includes fair partnerships to drive the #energytransition. https://lnkd.in/eMTW3D55

Great to see two of the key players in the global economy of the future taking huge strides forward to develop their hydrogen industries. These recent announcements are great examples of how different countries can lean into their natural positions in the value chain, harnessing policy as a tool to magnify the impact of public funds; Brazil leveraging its abundant renewable resources, and Germany promoting the decarbonization of Europe's industrial engine. In the near term, hydrogen of all shades should be promoted, as long as they clearly demonstrate carbon reductions. However, this article highlights one of many misalignments around the world in the way we define Green hydrogen, and therefore the eligibility of each molecule to capture its full value. We eventually need to see harmonization across the global regulatory landscape to facilitate free trade, leveraging each region's competitive advantage to accelerate the build out, reduce costs, and ensure value is fairly distributed.

Germany has approved the Hydrogen Acceleration Law, marking a significant stride towards fostering a sustainable future. By fast-tracking permitting and environmental checks for hydrogen projects, the government is laying down crucial groundwork for the rapid development of hydrogen infrastructure. This move aligns with Germany's ambitious goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045, positioning the nation as a frontrunner in the global transition towards renewable energy, and setting a compelling example for other countries to follow suit.

Brazil Commits $1.09 Billion to Establish Clean #Hydrogen Hubs. Brazil has announced a $1.09 billion investment in clean hydrogen hubs, aiming to #decarbonize industrial sectors and bolster the country's position in the global hydrogen market. https://fcw.sh/dFtkoK #CleanEnergy #HydrogenEnergy #IndustrialDecarbonization #GlobalHydrogenMarket #BrazilInvestment
