At present, Europe is not making sufficient use of its hydrogen potential – a new study recommends stronger cooperation at EU level. To reach climate neutrality, Europe’s industry will need large quantities of carbon-neutral hydrogen in the future. Many European countries, including Germany, are planning large investments to develop and ramp up the hydrogen industry needed for this. Within the HyPat research project, a new study by Fraunhofer ISI, RIFS Potsdam and the German Energy Agency (dena) makes five recommendations to the EU and the Member States and reveals a significant mismatch between the ratio of current investments and the […]

Hydrogen for Heat

Decarbonising domestic heat is critical for achieving the UK government’s Net Zero targets. According to recent reports, around 20% of UK territorial emissions come from combustion of fuels for domestic heating. A Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (‘BEIS’) committee report stated that in 2019, 17% of heating emissions from buildings came from homes, which was comparable to the combined contribution of all petrol and diesel cars. There are a number of options to achieving zero emission domestic heating, ranging from district heating, electrification of heating (such as heat pumps), and installation of hydrogen appliances which can use hydrogen […]

The impact of industry transition on a CO2 neutral European energy system

Hydrogen is a key pillar of decarbonising European energy-intensive industry, with hydrogen demand estimated to be 1785 TWh in the H2+ scenario, 1343 TWh in the Elec+ scenario and 415 TWh in Elec+_VC sensitivity analysis by 2050. The importance of hydrogen varies in the two main scenarios, but it has an important role in feedstock supply and process heating in both. The transformation of the chemical sector is the primary driver of hydrogen demand in the long-term. The feedstocks for chemical production are currently based entirely on fossil fuels, mainly naphtha and natural gas, and amounted to about 1090 TWh […]

Power to X country analysis

The production, transport and supply costs of key Power-to-X products for the year 2030. A total of 39 globally distributed regions in developing and emerging countries were therefore analyzed in terms of their renewables and Power-to-X production and supply cost potential. The comprehensive techno economic results presented are based on extensive country analyses regarding their renewables generation potential, identification of promising regions, and holistic simulations and optimization of Power-to-X production and supply pathways for each of the identified locations. The main focus was on the analysis of the renewable electricity generation costs in these countries and subsequently a detailed design […]
