🗞 Chile advancing with green hydrogen plan, as projects, infrastructure plans, and policy move forward 📰 "Last month an US$11bn green ammonia project was submitted for environmental evaluation, bringing the number of such projects under review to six." 📰 "Aside from the projects under environmental review, authorities are planning pilot projects for green hydrogen-powered transport, including a bus that is being manufactured entirely in the country and is expected to start running later this year." 🔎 Read the full story from partner BNamericas, here: https://lnkd.in/e-dZASHw -- #WorldHydrogenLatinAmerica is returning to #Santiago this December!

The Spanish ministry for the ecological transition on Tuesday released the rules and criteria for its next green #hydrogen subsidy programme, which, with a budget of EUR 1.2 billion (USD 1.29bn), will fund larger-sized projects and the installation of more powerful electrolysers. As announced just days ago, the new round of state aid will support the establishment of large green hydrogen valleys or clusters and help promote large-scale production and consumption of electrolytic hydrogen and its derivatives. This programme follows previously granted lines of aid in several domestic competitive procedures for smaller hydrogen production and mobility schemes and the recently approved disbursement of EUR 794 million for Spain-based hydrogen IPCEIs selected by the European Commission.

Many thanks to Assemblymember Bennett for gathering leaders from local communities, industries, and ARCHES H2 to discuss current efforts, opportunities, and challenges related to creating sustainable markets for renewable clean hydrogen market to clean the air in disadvantaged communities, decarbonize the economy and grow good jobs in California.

President Gabriel Boric's Green Hydrogen Action Plan has set an ambitious goal for Chile to become the world's cheapest producer of green hydrogen by 2030. The initiative, focused on the Magallanes region, promises significant economic benefits but also raises concerns among local communities about environmental impacts and a lack of information. Anahí Urquiza, a natural sciences expert, notes the region's potential: "These are places that have a very good quality of renewable energy potential, but also large territories available to install wind farms or solar panels." Marine biologist Gabriela Garrido adds, "They are intervening in areas that are extremely vulnerable, where it is easy to arrive with a briefcase full of hope and money."

Climate change is an urgent threat to human health. We’ve set an ambitious goal to reach net zero impact on climate change across our full value chain by 2045 – and we’re taking action to achieve it. Around a third of our total emissions come from our supply chain, which is why we co-founded Energize, a healthcare industry programme to support suppliers to access renewable energy. We are thrilled that the first deal has been announced and that it includes four of GSK’s suppliers in Europe. The deal will support seven new solar energy projects in Spain and bring additional renewable capacity to the European grid. This is one of the ways we’re working to create more sustainable healthcare that is better for patients and the planet. Find out more: https://gsk.to/47NbeiT #ClimateWeekNYC

TWO SIGNIFICANT STEPS TOWARDS A GREEN INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION #powertox WAS TAKEN THIS WEEK ✔ ✔The Danish government has just announced an agreement that establishes the framework for financing and regulation of a potential Jutlandic #hydrogen backbone, which could be used to export green hydrogen to Germany. An important step towards harnessing the value of the Danish offshore wind resource and promoting Danish production of hydrogen and green fuels, benefiting local growth in our part of the world Holstebro Kommune, Lemvig Kommune, Struer Kommune and their region. https://lnkd.in/djYTMttW ✔In addition the new "Free Allocations Delegated Act" was published yesterday in the European Union's Official Journal. The act says that green hydrogen producers will now receive free carbon credits. https://lnkd.in/drH9ZZWE The opening is getting much closer after this important progress 💡 I am more optimistic today than I was yesterday!

Spain’s high level of solar exposure makes it one of the best European candidates for #greenhydrogen production; the country could be close to self-sufficiency in 2050. Yet, Spain can expect significant volumes of imports due to its geographical position as a gateway to proximate demand clusters—notably Germany—minimizing transport costs by leveraging its pipeline connection to Morocco and the pan-European transport infrastructure, including the Barcelona-Marseille hydrogen pipeline. #zeroemissions #sustainability #renewableenergy #decarbonization

Iberian Peninsula will receive 82% of the new Green H2 projects supported by EU innovation fund. That will produce over 1,5 Mt green H2 over 10 years. Spain jointly with Portugal are leading the green H2 production over next years. Most interesting, the expected cost of green H2 will be competitive with coal and oil, even compatible with natural gas cost.
