This week I was at Portugal Renewable Energy Summit in Lisbon presenting on the Economics of Green Hydrogen in Iberia. Here's the 1 minute version: 🇵🇹 🇪🇸 Electrolyser projects in Iberia are progressing albeit slowly, similar to the rest of Europe 💰 In Iberia, subsidies focus on the production side and there is nothing on the demand side yet 🌍Green hydrogen production costs in Iberia are slightly lower than in Northwest Europe and falling over time at a faster rate. 🔌Once the Iberian power grids are >90% renewable, due to become so early 2030s, Iberia will be far cheaper than NWE 🏭Willingness to pay for green hydrogen in industry is low today but rises to meet production costs in the late 2030s mainly due to the EU ETS rules. Until then the gap could be met with subsidies Please get in touch with Bea Dunlop if you'd like to know more, and explore our hydrogen page: https://lnkd.in/giN2FXVp Thank you so much to Diogo Carvalheda and team at APREN - Associação Portuguesa de Energias Renováveis for giving me this opportunity!

DH2 to build Spain’s largest green hydrogen production network in Extremadura By Edward Laity “DH2 Energy has unveiled plans to develop four large-scale green hydrogen facilities in Spain’s Extremadura region, with a combined capacity of 1.5GW. Research from AeH2 highlights that DH2 Energy’s portfolio represents the largest renewable hydrogen production capacity currently under development in Spain, generating more than 75,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually. The Spanish firm’s most advanced project in development is in Raviza, which is scheduled to produce 25,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year. The three further initiatives in Extremadura are ‘Badajoz 2, 3 and 4’, capable of producing 8,000-25,000 tonnes annually and located across Mérida, Badajoz, La Roca de la Sierra. The developments underway represent a total investment of €2.25bn ($2.36bn), according to DH2 Energy. The company’s Managing Director, Marcos López-Brea Baquero, highlighted the region’s abundant renewable resources as a key driver for its hydrogen production potential. “What’s more, there’s a willingness to encourage deployment on the part of both the regional government and the local councils in the towns where DH2 Energy is building plants,” Baquero added. “Extremadura also has a favourable regulatory framework that includes specific legislation designed to promote renewable hydrogen. In addition, a section of the hydrogen transport network planned by Enagás will be built in Extremadura.” Alongside its Extremadura hydrogen production network, DH2 received the green light to develop its Hysencia project in Aragon last July, after securing an Integrated Environmental Authorisation. The 35MW electrolysis and 49MWp solar photovoltaic plant will produce 99GWh of renewable electricity each year to power the electrolyser, with operations anticipated to begin in 2027. DH2 later launched an auction to secure offtake hydrogen from the 35MW plant. In November (2024), the auction opened with a call to all companies interested in buying the 1,700 tonnes of green hydrogen produced by the plant per year.” Mexican Hydrogen, Storage & Sustainable Mobility Association (H2 México) | Pierre-Yves Gary | Philippe Esposito https://lnkd.in/gJC_tNzS?

Spain is striving to be a leader for solar energy capacity in Europe. Read the post below from BM2Solar's CEO Susana Quintana-Plaza about how we're working to meet Spain's ambitions and address the associated challenges. Powering Spain's Solar Ambitions and Storage Needs: BM2Solar is Making it a Reality Spain stands out as Europe’s solar energy leader, with an ambitious goal of 81 GW of solar capacity by 2030. However, the path to success isn’t just about installing more solar panels—it’s about ensuring the grid can handle the influx of renewable energy. Here’s where large-scale battery storage becomes a game-changer. According to the Global Energy Monitor, with over 29.5 GW of utility-scale solar already operational and another 113.9 GW in construction and development, the Spanish grid faces significant challenges like bottlenecks, variable supply, and limited capacity to store excess solar energy. For Spain to lead the charge in Europe’s clean energy transition and meet its ambitious 2030 targets, investing in large-scale battery storage isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential. BM2Solar is working to make large-scale battery investments a reality for its customers. Our unique business model works to co-locate batteries with solar assets to participate with our advanced algorithms in all the energy markets, increasing the IRR of the solar plant by up to 20% with zero cost to the solar plant owner. What are your thoughts on how to make battery storage a cornerstone of Spain’s solar future? #Renewables #SolarEnergy #BatteryStorage #EnergyTransition

🇪🇸☢ Spain's energy future just got a boost. The Trillo nuclear power plant received a 10-year license renewal. This is a big deal for Spain's energy sector. Spain has been shifting towards solar and wind energy. The focus has been on meeting environmental goals and public sentiment. Despite this, the Nuclear Safety Council (CSN) has approved Trillo's operating license extension. Located in Guadalajara, Trillo will celebrate 40 years of operation in 2028. It will then enter Long-Term Operation (LTO) status. The approval came after the operator met all safety requirements. The CSN did a thorough review of the plant's safety conditions. They also gave a positive report on the radioactive waste and spent fuel management plan. Other plants have also received extensions. These include Asco (2 GW), Vandellos 2 (1 GW), Almaraz (2 GW), and Cofrentes (1.1 GW). This extension is crucial for Spain's energy future. Image by: CSN, Trillo

It is always enlightening to listen to José Manuel Durão Barroso, former European Commission President. During the conference organized by IESE Business School, participated by the Gas Distributors for Sustainability (GD4S) Board Members, he focused particularly on the costs of the #climatetransition borne by the community and the difficulty of making decisions at the European level. His idea of a necessary European recalibration is highly agreeable. In my opinion – and I have been stressing that for a long time - it is essential to revise the method to avoid the mistake of confusing the goals with the path needed to achieve them. The European Commission should set the targets but leave the market, technology, and innovation to design the path, which might not be linear. Today, we may not be certain how we will reach a specific goal, but we are sure we will get there thanks to technology. Italgas #digitalinnovation #digitaltransformation

A lot of people have been talking about the EU #HydrogenBank's very low hydrogen subsidies (EUR <0.50/kg H2). This is among the lowest subsidy we've seen from governments and from bidding. I do not think these projects will go ahead with only this subsidy. I suspect they'll stack subsidies, delay, renegotiate or give up. This piece from Frontier Economics is a thoughtful comparison of UK and EU hydrogen bidding rounds. Summary is that the EU bidders may have (one or all the below): 1️⃣ Lower levelized cost of hydrogen 📊 2️⃣ Higher expectations of off taker willingness to pay 💸 3️⃣ Specific bid strategy 💼   While the bids may seem too low compared to the rest of the world remember that in the EU projects and their offtakes are not only subsidy driven like in the USA. There are three legs to the EU's energy transition strategy: mandates, subsidies and carbon price. All three impact what hydrogen's final price will be. For example, in aviation, producers in the USA are solving this formula when they think about the price of their goods: Levelized cost of production - subsidies + investor return <= willingness to pay for the fuel In the EU the right side fo the equation is different because of the carbon price created by the ETS and aviation fuel mandates: Levelized cost of production - Subsidies + Investor return <= ETS savings + Aviation Mandate noncompliance penalties + willingness to pay for the fuel   In the EU, if the subsidy is very low, that doesn't necessarily mean the project is not feasible. Although I am sceptical of these low subsidies, let's think about what that means. If projects proceed with only EUR 0.50 subsidy per kg of hydrogen, it could mean that the EU's three-pronged strategy (Carbon Pricing, Mandates, and Incentives) is actually a very good strategy! If these projects go ahead, and the next bidding round (which is much bigger) is also successful, the world will have a working model for how to successfully drive hydrogen uptake! 💡 🎉👏 I think we should all be cheering the EU's efforts and hoping for the program's success! 🎉👏
