🚀 Hydrogen: The Next Frontier in Clean Energy 🌍 While Electric Vehicles (EVs) have captured much of the spotlight, hydrogen is quietly emerging as a game-changing alternative. In fact, hydrogen is poised to outperform EVs in the long run—and the key lies in hybridizing hydrogen production with renewable energy sources like wind and solar. 🌞🌬️ By coupling renewable power with hydrogen generation, we can solve two major challenges: 1️⃣ Cost Efficiency: With advancements in electrolysis and hydrogen storage, the cost equation is finally tilting in hydrogen’s favor. 2️⃣ Return on Investment (ROI): Unlike traditional energy solutions, combining hydrogen with renewables ensures continuous energy production even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. This reliable output improves ROI, making hydrogen a more sustainable and profitable option. The future of energy is evolving, and hydrogen is leading the charge. 🚗💨 As we continue to hybridize with renewables, hydrogen is proving to be a key player in decarbonizing industries, transportation, and even power grids. The energy transition is happening now. Let's look beyond EVs and tap into the full potential of hydrogen! ⚡🔋 #HydrogenEnergy #Renewables #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #HybridEnergy #HydrogenVsEV #EnergyTransition

Texas, historically known for its oil and gas, is now on track to become a global leader in hydrogen production. Thanks to its natural gas reserves, renewable energy sources, and strong infrastructure, the state already produces 3.6 million metric tons of hydrogen annually—about one-third of the U.S. total. Ambitious projects, like Green Hydrogen International’s Hydrogen City, aim to revolutionize energy production. Planned for Duval County, it could eventually produce up to 60 GW of green hydrogen by 2030, using wind and solar power, and store massive amounts of energy in salt caverns. With initiatives like these, Texas is shaping the future of clean, renewable energy. #HydrogenEconomy #GreenEnergy #TexasHydrogen #RenewableFuel #CleanEnergyTransition

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

*** The Role of Hydrogen in the Energy Transition in North America *** • North America’s energy transition is continuing to gather pace, with a combination of technological development and favorable policy incentives driving substantial growth across renewables, hydrogen and CCUS sectors. Technologies such as electric vehicles and renewable fuels are also experiencing increasing adoption albeit at a slower rate. • Despite the current dominance of natural gas within North America’s generation mix, a rapid build-out of solar PV and wind capacity will boost renewable generation so that it will contribute 55% of total generation by 2035. Despite inflationary pressures causing project slowdowns, offshore wind will also remain the fastest growing technology, experiencing a CAGR of 67% between 2023 and 2035. • The region has seen plenty of activity in the low-carbon hydrogen space, including the announcement of the world’s largest project in Canada by Green Hydrogen International. North America’s hydrogen capacity is expected to strongly increase at a CAGR of 84% between 2024 and 2030. • Air Products is expected to have at least 6 operational projects by 2030, with one already active and a further 5 that will come online from 2024 onwards. The company will be a huge contributor to low-carbon hydrogen capacity by the end of the decade, accounting for 770ktpa • The Hydrogen Americas 2024 Summit & Exhibition, later this year, will be a critical opportunity to hear from specialists and government ministers on how Hydrogen will be implemented to ensure these changes.

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.

Are you in Philadelphia this week for Green Hydrogen Summit East Coast? I’ll be joining a panel at 11:45am today called “Closing The Renewables Gap: How Do We Find the Renewable Power to Produce Green Hydrogen?” If hourly matching is adopted, renewable power purchasing for green hydrogen becomes much more complex. Producers will need to build a portfolio of regional suppliers including a mix of wind and solar power to keep electrolyzers running at high capacity. It’s not just a matter of adding more renewables to the grid — though that’s part of the solution. For a thriving green hydrogen ecosystem, we’ll need a wider variety of renewables and carbon free generation with a mix of production profiles available at strategic locations around the country. So how do we make this happen? Stop by our panel and join the conversation! #GreenHydrogen #RenewableEnergy #Wind #Solar Green Hydrogen Summit Series #GHEC24 #Greenhydrogensummit

The HEA - in partnership with Renewables UK, the REA, Hydrogen East, the North-West Hydrogen Alliance, Scottish Renewables, Hydrogen Southwest, the Carbon Capture and Storage Association, the Decarbonised Gas Alliance, and the Midlands Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Network recently announced 10 key actions to support the successful scale-up of hydrogen. The seventh of these was to define Hydrogen internal combustion as zero carbon to allow the UK to reap economic and employment benefits across UK manufacturing. Hydrogen ICE is an internal combustion engine that uses hydrogen as fuel. Hydrogen ICEs are gaining traction as an attractive pathway for decarbonisation of the mobility and NRMM sectors. https://lnkd.in/ecgQ3JxB #RenewablesUK #REA #HydrogenEast #NorthWestHydrogenAlliance #ScottishRenewables #HydrogenSouthwest #CarbonCaptureAndStorageAssociation #DecarbonisedGasAlliance #MidlandsHydrogen #FuelCellNetwork
