Gas transmission operators 🇩🇪🇵🇱🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪🇫🇮 complete ✅ Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor pre-feasibility study. The #Nordic and #Baltic region provides significant renewable hydrogen potential identified within the pre-feasibility study at the amount of approx. 27.1 million tons (Mt) of renewable #hydrogen production (based on combined onshore and offshore wind and solar) by 2040. This creates a large hydrogen market creation and export potential towards continental Europe which the NBHC aims to address. By 2040, the corridor is projected to transport up to 2.7 million tons (Mt) of #renewable hydrogen annually between the countries. The pre-feasibility study indicated that the NBHC can be one of the first operational cross-border hydrogen pipelines in #Europe. The NBHC pipeline is currently planned to be 48 inches (1,200 mm) in diameter, with several compressor stations and spanning approximately 2,500 km.

A great step forward for the growing offshore hydrogen industry 💧⚡️ HOPE: Hydrogen Offshore Production for Europe is building the first infrastructure for large-scale renewable hydrogen production offshore, with plans for deployment by 2028. Oyster a project co-founded by Clean Hydrogen Partnership & European Union is developing an electrolyzed system designer for offshore environments. By integrating it with offshore wind turbines, it is aimed to produce 100% renewable low-cost hydrogen. 🌊 Delve deeper into the world of hydrogen 👉 https://shorturl.at/tMSRa #HydrogenObservatory #HydrogenEconomy #CleanHydrogen

Exciting potential for clean hydrogen from offshore wind 🌊💨 The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has set a game-changing goal with its Hydrogen Shot initiative, aiming to bring down the cost of clean hydrogen to $2 per kilogram. By harnessing the power of offshore wind turbines, this ambitious target is within reach, especially in regions with strong winds and manageable water depths. Combining offshore wind and clean hydrogen production could unlock unprecedented levels of renewable energy. According to Kaitlin Brunik, an NREL research engineer, this synergy not only holds promise for energy generation but also for decarbonising hard-to-electrify sectors. This marks a significant stride towards a sustainable future, and the potential benefits are immense. How do you see the role of offshore wind in advancing clean hydrogen production? Let's discuss in comments section below. #CleanEnergy #HydrogenFuture #NetZero

https://lnkd.in/e6c6cufZ CTE to Lead 1,000-Bus Initiative as DOE Signs $12.6 Billion Agreement for California’s Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub Project The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the signing of a landmark $12.6 billion agreement, including up to $1.2 billion from the DOE and $11.4 billion in public and private matching funds, to accelerate clean hydrogen projects throughout California. This funding supports the Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES) in establishing a leading hydrogen hub in the state and aims to significantly reduce California’s dependence on fossil fuels, paving the way for a carbon-neutral economy by 2045. Selected last October as one of seven recipients of the DOE’s Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs), ARCHES is pioneering a national network connecting clean hydrogen producers, consumers, and infrastructure, marking a crucial milestone in advancing sustainable energy solutions across the United States. Notably, ARCHES is the first of the H2 Hubs to successfully secure a contract with the DOE, allowing it to advance to Phase 1 planning activities.

Lowering the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) is critical to the clean energy transition. Gore Alternative Energy & Storage conducted a ’material to system level’ analysis into the impact of PEM technology on the LCOH in green hydrogen production in three distinct use cases. Read our whitepaper to learn how Gore’s PEM improved efficiency and lowered cost at a French steel mill, a North Sea offshore wind plant, and a Spanish photovoltaic hydrogen production hub.

🌊 Towards net-zero: Unlocking the potential of offshore hydrogen systems Offshore wind energy holds incredible promise for renewable hydrogen production, offering vast potential and consistent capacity factors. But what does it take to make this vision a reality? In their latest blog, Alexandr Akimov, Mostafa Rezaei, PhD and Evan Gray explore the techno-economic feasibility of offshore hydrogen systems, focusing on Australia's vast offshore wind resources. The article highlights key findings, such as strategies to achieve cost-competitive hydrogen production, the role of efficiency optimisation, and lessons from global examples like Japan’s Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field (FH2R) and South Korea's offshore hydrogen projects. 📌 Key insights include: 🔹 The importance of rapid scaling and policy support to achieve a levelised cost of hydrogen below AUD 3/kg by 2040. 🔹 The critical role of energy management strategies to optimise electrolysis efficiency. 🔹 How offshore wind and hydrogen production can become integral pillars of a sustainable energy future. As the world moves towards net-zero, integrating offshore wind with hydrogen production could be a game-changer for renewable energy. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gV54S4Wd #RenewableEnergy #OffshoreWind #HydrogenProduction #Sustainability #NetZero
