Portugal has secured a significant position in the global hydrogen landscape, with five designated hydrogen valleys that span the entire value chain of green hydrogen projects.

In a recent article published by Follow the Money (FTM), it was revealed that Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte intervened in the application process for hydrogen subsidies by energy giant Shell.

An alliance of environmentalists, trade unionists, and trade associations has come together to voice their concerns over the installation of hydrogen-capable gas heaters.

India’s investments in renewable energy and grid upgrades have provided the required assurance for investors to fund long-term hydrogen projects, according to a conference held in Berlin.

Hydrogen is an essential element in the fight against climate change, and its use is becoming increasingly important in many industrial sectors.

“The holy grail” of the energy future – hydrogen may soon have a very serious problem, which, if not solved quickly, will bring the whole “hydrogen revolution” to a halt for us. This is caused by the already absolute certainty that hydrogen in the Earth’s atmosphere reacts with tropospheric hydroxyl (OH) radicals. Therefore, its uncontrolled emission into the atmosphere disturbs the distribution and holds dangerously the decomposition of methane, ozone or water vapour, which can lead us, in the short term, to a possible climate cataclysm.

A new report prepared by the South Asia Regional Energy Partnership (SAREP) estimates India will reach an annual green hydrogen demand of 2.85 million metric tons (MMT) by 2030 if existing momentum in the public and private sectors for green hydrogen continues and announced projects get implemented. The report highlights that the fertilizer and export sectors will account for nearly 37% and 29% of the total 2.85 MMT green hydrogen demand, respectively.

The Ministry of Environment, Climate Protection and Energy Sector in Baden-Württemberg, Germany is launching a new hydrogen demand analysis in partnership with relevant stakeholders.

Baden-Württemberg, a state in southwestern Germany, is launching a hydrogen requirement analysis to determine current and reliable figures for future demand.

French Bank Lazard has stated that the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) tax credits could make atom-powered electrolyzers more competitive than green hydrogen production.
