If you are interested in hydrogen cost reduction pathways, this is the webinar for you. It will be a really interesting summary of the latest work

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

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.

💧⚡🛠️ H2-ready power plants: What is important for the conversion of gas-fired power plants to hydrogen in Germany? Andreas Christidis, researcher in our unit Mobility with Renewable Energy spoke to Niels Sorrells from Montel about this topic. 📰 Andreas answers and those of other experts can be found here https://lnkd.in/eSqUPWiP 📄 The RLI published a study on this topic last year, which is available here https://lnkd.in/effpucgb #hydrogen #h2 #powerplants #gas #Wasserstoff #h2ready #renewableenergy #Germany

🌊 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

Suzie and Jackson are part of a team working to transition our gas network towards a net-zero future. Presently, gas networks can carry blends of up to 10 per cent hydrogen. Work is being undertaken to assess the feasibility of carrying higher blends and pure hydrogen in our networks. In 2050, our existing gas network could be transporting hydrogen or synthetic methane blended with biomethane or natural gas to homes and businesses, while parts of our network may be dedicated to hydrogen transport or storage. As Suzie and Jackson explain, if we get it right, transitioning to renewable gas will help to reduce carbon emissions while ensuring gas is available to homes and businesses, alongside other renewable energy solutions like solar.

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

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

Pairing U.S. offshore wind with hydrogen production has the potential to meet at least 75% of the nation's total demand for green hydrogen, according to new research. Using hydrogen can increase the utilization rates of offshore wind from an anemic 1% to 22% of its technical resource potential, according to Cornell University researchers Fengqi You and Rishi Kaashyap Balaji. Coupled with a study from NREL, which showed how developing offshore wind power projects in the Great Lakes could provide nearly 600GW of renewable power, the two studies show how to take offshore wind utilization (potentially from a single geography) to over 22% of its technical resource potential. (See the National Renewable Energy Laboratory study here: https://hubs.la/Q02KZXvZ0.) The Cornell researchers believe prices for hydrogen produced from offshore wind could come in between $2.50–$7.00 per kg H2 and life cycle greenhouse gas emissions below the 4 kg CO2e per kg H2 benchmark at the coast for hydrogen produced offshore. And new funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) could accelerate the development. The Wind Energies Technologies Office is offering $50 million in financing to build out offshore wind capacity in the country.

Converting to renewable energy is one of the primary tools to fight climate change. Storage of energy is critical to make renewables work, and hydrogen, or its derivatives are a promising way to store power. Electrolyzers convert power to hydrogen, and fuel cells convert the hydrogen back to electricity. They are both made by stacking multiple anode and cathode plates and a membrane between each, and tie-rods hold them in place. Our real-time monitoring system measures the tension of the tie rods in order to avoid costly preventive and unplanned maintenance shut downs. https://lnkd.in/efJryDtA #CleanEnergyFuels #Electrolyzer #LoadCellSensors
