The Renewable Grid Initiative (RGI), a consortium of 13 European grid operators, has released a report that questions the efficiency of Europe’s plan to produce 10 million tons of green hydrogen annually by 2030. While this ambitious goal aligns with the EU’s energy plan REPowerEU, which also includes importing an additional 10 million tons of green hydrogen, concerns are arising regarding the optimal use of renewable energy in achieving this target.

Spanish government has outlined plans for an extensive network of hydrogen pipelines, connecting the country internally and reaching out to Europe.

In the quest for a sustainable future, hydrogen has emerged as a critical player, and at its heart are electrolysers. These devices, capable of transforming water into hydrogen, are pivotal in the race toward a net-zero world. While Europe has been at the forefront of green industrial policy, the United States is gearing up to potentially take the lead in shaping the future of electrolyser manufacturing.

Fraunhofer, Europe’s largest applied research organization, has announced strategic collaborations with two prominent partners in India—the Department of Science and Technology (DST) for Hydrogen Technologies and the State of Tamil Nadu for Innovation and digitalization clusters. This momentous development was unveiled during the 6th Fraunhofer Innovation and Technology Platform (FIT), a gathering that focused on the circular economy’s pivotal role in manufacturing, mobility, packaging, recycling, and the water-food-energy nexus. The FIT event witnessed the participation of more than 250 industry experts, government officials, and research organizations, highlighting the significant influence and impact of Fraunhofer on the Indian innovation landscape.
