Interview with Sandrine Meunier, head of French gas TSO, GRTgaz She says France is set to miss its electrolyser capacity target by five years, likely installing 6.5 GW by 2035 instead of 2030 “It’s going to take a little longer to achieve competitive hydrogen production, it’s a new industry so it necessarily takes time to scale up,” although industrial consumers are committed to switching to hydrogen Despite the weak signals, GRTgaz is developing hydrogen infrastructure projects in industrial hubs in France, but is not yet working on large-scale pan-European projects, which are “much more long term“ The TSO head argues hydrogen production costs should be identical across France, Germany and Spain to ensure French industrials remain in the country, factoring in transportation costs Full story: https://lnkd.in/ews_xj-v -

Engie reveals results of French vertical agrivoltaic demonstrator The French energy company said its 100 kW agrivoltaic facility linked to cow farming in France’s Puy-de-Dôme region has not modified meadow functioning and animal behavior. Engie Green, a unit of French energy giant Engie, has been operating a vertical agrivoltaic demonstrator for the past two years on the site of the National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRAE) in Laqueuille, Puy-de-Dôme department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in the center of France. The choice of this photovoltaic technology was made because of its production profile, with the solar power plant producing over an extended period from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. due to the vertical deployment of the panels. https://lnkd.in/dV3eGxCW ENGIE ENGIE Africa INRAE Global Solar Council (GSC) Global Renewables Alliance (GRA) Global Renewable Energy South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA) Oxyon People Solutions (Pty) Ltd.

The Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) has transported a total of 40 billion cubic meters of gas over the past four years, Luca Schieppati, TAP's Managing Director, said at the Italian Energy Summit “Over the past four years, nearly 40 billion cubic meters of gas have been transported by TAP, significantly enhancing Europe’s energy security, diversification, and transition,” he said. The managing director pointed out that TAP is dedicated to expanding the pipeline’s capacity while supporting a sustainable energy transition by integrating greener molecules and minimizing our operational footprint. TAP transports natural gas from the giant Shah Deniz field in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea to Europe. The 877 km long pipeline connects with the Trans Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP) at the Turkish-Greek border in Kipoi, crosses Greece and Albania and the Adriatic Sea, before coming ashore in Southern Italy. TAP facilitates gas supplies to Southeastern European countries through existing and prospective interconnectors. TAP is connected to Interconnector Greece Bulgaria (IGB) which started its commercial operations in October 2022, providing Caspian gas to Bulgaria. TAP’s shareholding is comprised of bp (20%), SOCAR (20%), Snam (20%), Fluxys (20%), Enagás (20%). https://lnkd.in/dD4_UQDX https://lnkd.in/d47vn3dn

Joint assets such as Nemo Link Limited, the interconnector that connects #Belgium to #GreatBritain, serve as an excellent example of why #partnerships are key for the success of the #energytransition. In light of this, and as part of the schedule of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2024, Elia Group and Nemo Link Limited hosted a tour of Nemo Link’s converter station in #Bruges yesterday. A group of 65 visitors – comprising energy attachés from EU permanent representations, representatives from the European Commission and the Council secretariat, officials from Belgium’s FPS Economy and diplomats from some of the EU’s neighbouring countries – took part in the tour. Staff from Nemo Link Limited and Elia Group, including Bart Goethals, Lisa Kettle, Wouter Van Oekel, Bernard De Clercq, Thijs Vandenbussche, Jelle Reynaert, and Marianne Houman, took their visitors through the interconnector’s role and operation, including the framework that covers this. Nemo Link also explained some of its key challenges around #Brexit (less efficient #marketcoupling and issues around #EUCBAM) that would require #political will from both the UK and the EU to get resolved. Nemo Link, which has been operational since January 2019, was Belgium’s first #subsea #electricity #interconnector and is one of National Grid’s six operating interconnectors to Europe. It enables electricity to be exchanged between Belgium and Great Britain, improving their security of supply, and gives consumers in both countries access to cheaper electricity generated abroad. The path to #netzero is not a straightforward one. Establishing close relationships between the EU and its #neighbours, including the UK, will play a major part in allowing us to reach it. #partnerships #decarbonisation #netzero #renewables #interconnector #offshore #offshoredevelopment #EUpresidency #belgium #nemolink

#PlamenaTisheva's article provides a good perspective on the potential for Europe to tap into North Africa renewables. The helpful map sets out proposed #HVDC cables linking North Africa to Europe including #Xlinks. Although there is no overlay, these cables track existing gas pipieline infrastructure which in time will displaced by electricty transmission assets.

Morocco 🇲🇦 and France 🇫🇷 are looking to strengthen industrial cooperation in key sectors — including #greenhydrogen. The North African country has great potential when it comes to the production of #renewableH2, thanks to its rich natural resources, including solar and wind. On the other side of the Mediterranean, France has recently opened to the idea of hydrogen imports ↔️, as a complement to its national production. 👉 With its strategic position, Morocco could emerge as a prime partner to export green H2 to France and the European Union as a whole. https://lnkd.in/gPjmueY4
