#Latepost Materializing the Green Promise Via Green Hydrogen . Quite an eventful week at the World Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition @ Rotterdam. One could clearly see that Hydrogen is expected to make a significant contribution towards the reduction of CO2 emissions in the shipping, mobility and industrials sectors and eventually contribute towards meeting the green goals/promise. However, many project developers have found it to be very challenging to arrive at profitable business cases. Announced projects have been cancelled or delayed and some governments are considering lowering their initial targets. Many OEM’s are struggling to understand what the true demand for their electrolysers /technologies are. However not everything is doom & gloom ,there were some good takeaways from the event as well. 🚢 ⚓ The shipping sector is picking up interest from across the hydrogen industry. Given the event is held in Rotterdam, port operators have always been strongly represented at the event, emphasizing future global trade routes for H2 & derivatives. IMO regulations will also help this transition/demand.The addition of the maritime sector as a separate sub-sector under the #EuropeanHydrogenBank has also marked this increased momentum. ⌛ The last 18 months have solidified the much-needed European regulatory framework around hydrogen, however, how these will be implemented into National Law remains a challenge to deploy projects. The market is now carefully timing when off taker demand will solidify, to ramp up production & capacities. 📈 As the flood of new hydrogen project announcements are dampened, companies are starting to prioritize their core priorities, with a strong focus on deliverability. As a hydrogen price benchmark evolves, we are already seeing some projects struggling to compete and pausing or cancelling their plans. This clearly signals start of a consolidation phase for the hydrogen market. 🥇 💪 We are starting to see some players differentiating themselves from the pack, by advancing large-scale projects through close collaboration across stakeholders in the value chain. The commitment of leading electrolyser suppliers into the Spanish Green Hydrogen Valley & The Australian government announcement of an A$ 2/kg production tax credit to be available from 2027, putting Australia back into the global hydrogen race. ⛳ 🤝We continued to see new companies exhibiting, and the number of international manufacturers and delegations increasing in presence/engagement – stand out was the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) stall at India/Bharath 🇮🇳 Pavilion.

Research by the UK Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC) and German consultants Cruh21 has outlined how to maximise green hydrogen collaboration between both nations. The report showed that Scottish hydrogen exports could meet at least 22 per cent and up to 100 per cent of Germany’s hydrogen demand by 2045. #decarbonistion #greenhydrogen #Scotland https://lnkd.in/gtRUmaYA

Join us at the World Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition 2024, 13 - 15 May AHOY Rotterdam The Netherlands - STAND B58 - . Hydrogen (H2) production, distribution and usage continues to grow, fuelled by environmental legislation and demand for cleaner fuels. Hydrogen can help global energy transformation, solve pollution problems, and achieve our decarbonisation targets. However, to reach higher levels of adoption, it is crucial to maintain and deploy hydrogen safely.

A combined effort between Australia’s national science agency CSIRO and Swinburne University of Technology’s Victorian Hydrogen Hub (VH2) has created the development of a new hydrogen refuelling station. The new site will be based in Australia, in Victoria and it has been built with the purpose of conducting research as well as refuelling vehicles. This article portrays how a company is continuing to research a certain technology whilst that technology is in use within society. This provides both the researchers, the consumers and the environment with multiple benefits, as rather than waiting to continue, by using real world use as research, the company will get much more accurate results and the improvements can be made faster.

Demand for #hydrogen in APAC is expected to rise further as countries like Singapore, South Korea and Japan continue exploring their use in decarbonizing industries such as #powergeneration, #steel, chemicals and #transportation. As a potential hydrogen superpower in the region, Australia could help meet this demand and accelerate the region’s #energytransition – but more public and private partnerships and support are needed to realize this. I shared this in my keynote speech at the Connecting Green Hydrogen APAC 2024 conference in Melbourne last week, where discussions were focused on shaping Australia and APAC’s hydrogen future. It was good to connect with our key stakeholders there in person once more, and I look forward to strengthening our collaborations to bolster Australia’s hydrogen efforts.
