Clean hydrogen is a versatile decarbonization solution for many sectors. However, just because it can be used for many things does not mean it should. A competitive hydrogen economy depends on targeted policy support to unlock demand from priority sectors. Check out this new op-ed by Daniel Riley and me on how policy support for strategic end uses can set the industry in the right direction from the get-go. #cleanhydrogen #greenhydrogen #industrialdecarbonization

Post 1: 🚨 We have a green hydrogen demand problem – not a supply problem! 🚨 Despite the UK’s ambitious targets for decarbonisation, the green hydrogen market faces a significant challenge: demand uncertainty. While the potential to scale up production is huge, the lack of off-take agreements and unclear regulations are holding back crucial investment decisions. 🔑 Some key issues: Low demand signals, especially in road transport High production costs due to grid access and regulatory hurdles Insufficient investment in hydrogen refuelling infrastructure The solution? Stronger quotas for hydrogen in key sectors like transport, increased investment in infrastructure, and better incentives to unlock green hydrogen’s potential by 2030. Let’s tackle the demand challenge together! https://lnkd.in/gNCssF3f #GreenHydrogen #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #Transport #Decarbonisation #EnergyTransition #HydrogenEconomy Peter Kristensen Hilton Supra Gary Spicer Mads Bondergaard Jan Holm Martyn Price Richard Winterbourne

Today an article on IL SOLE 24 ORE capture the situation about the so called ‘Green Hydrogen Dream’ The energy transition holds immense potential, but the journey to decarbonization is far from straightforward. A striking example is the challenge of scaling up green hydrogen production. While hailed as a key solution for carbon neutrality, green hydrogen faces a fundamental barrier: cost. Recent reports highlight that costs remain prohibitively high and demand is insufficient, leading to delayed or canceled projects globally. Despite innovations and political momentum, only 12% of proposed green hydrogen plants have secured long-term purchase agreements. The technological and financial risks involved make investors wary. Moreover, studies from Harvard suggest that current cost projections for green hydrogen production are unsustainable for mass adoption. Without substantial cost reductions, green hydrogen may not achieve its full potential in decarbonization efforts by 2030. As companies and governments push forward, it’s critical to address these challenges head-on. Key Takeaways: • Green hydrogen technology must lower production costs to be viable. • The current lack of market demand and regulatory uncertainty is slowing progress. • Investments in the supply chain and distribution network are crucial to unlocking green hydrogen’s potential. As we work towards a carbon-free future, cost management will be the key to turning green hydrogen from an ambitious vision into a feasible reality, until that moment we will be ‘energy dependent’ on very unstable Regions. #Sustainability #GreenHydrogen #EnergyTransition #Decarbonization #CleanEnergy #Innovation #globalwarming

📢The Techno-economic Realities of Long-Distance Hydrogen Transport report provides insights into the complexities and costs of transporting low-carbon hydrogen to Europe. 🔑 Key points include: 🔹 High costs and technical challenges in long-distance hydrogen transport, particularly due to hydrogen's low volumetric energy density. 🔹 Comparative analysis of various transport modes and paths, highlighting the most economical options for Europe. 🔹 Emphasis on the need for substantial infrastructure development and policy interventions for a viable hydrogen economy. 🔹 The importance of strategic planning and innovation in hydrogen transport to ensure its role in decarbonization efforts. 🌍 Hydrogen offers several advantages as a clean energy carrier, but large-scale transport presents significant challenges. The report highlights the need for realistic projections, rigorous analysis of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions, and an internationally recognized system for hydrogen certification. 💡 Key takeaways include the importance of prioritizing the most promising and cost-effective technologies, avoiding expensive investments in inefficient infrastructure, and identifying what part of Europe's expected hydrogen demand could be met by uncracked ammonia. 🔑 As we work towards a net-zero future, hydrogen has a role to play in decarbonizing energy-intensive sectors and industries. Let's continue to explore and invest in clean energy solutions that will help us achieve our climate goals. #Hydrogen #CleanEnergy #ClimateAction #Sustainability #NetZero #EmissionsReduction #Innovation #HydrogenEconomy #EnergyTransition #SustainableTransport #Decarbonization

🌍 Fulfilling the Potential of Green Hydrogen 🌍 Clean hydrogen is key to decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors like steel, chemicals, aviation, and shipping. However, significant barriers hinder its widespread adoption. 🔍 Key Insights: - High Costs: Clean hydrogen is currently much more expensive than fossil fuels. - Investment Challenges: High construction costs and financing difficulties impede progress. - Regulatory Hurdles: Strict standards and insufficient incentives slow down development. - Limited Renewable Capacity: Competing demands for renewable electricity limit hydrogen production. - Infrastructure Needs: A comprehensive hydrogen infrastructure is essential but lacking. 🌱 Collaboration is Crucial: Intensive collaboration among stakeholders is needed to overcome these barriers and unlock the full potential of green hydrogen, driving the transition to a low-carbon economy. 👥 Join the Conversation!

🟢This Financial Times Lex report shows that the #hydrogen buzz is indeed fading – but that isn't a bad thing for the sectors that really need H2 to decarbonise. Hydrogen was never going to be nor should be a fix-all for our energy needs. When it comes to H2 we don't need "hype", we need sensible, targeted policies that stimulate an appropriately sized market and direct the limited supplies of #GreenHydrogen we have to the hard-to-electrify sectors that need it: namely #aviation and #shipping. ✈ 🛳 ⚡ Using green hydrogen in sectors that *can* be electrified (road traffic, household heating, etc) is a misuse of our resources. Green hydrogen production is expensive and energy-intensive. We should only be producing as much as we need to meet our decarbonisation targets in the sectors that need it. #decarboniseaviation #greenshipping #hydrogenpower

As we make more discoveries of natural #hydrogen sources, the conversations around how we can electrify the world with this clean source of energy expand. If we are going to tap into these plentiful hydrogen stores, we have to do so carefully and with #EnvironmentalImpact in mind. However, if we are successful, it could take electrification to the next level. Even though research is still needed to discover how this can benefit energy systems on a large level, the implications for this carbon-free resource are endless. #HydrogenEnergy
