Vattenfall joins European Clean Hydrogen Alliance

Hydrogen will be important for the next phase of the European energy transition. Vattenfall, who drives innovative projects such as HYBRIT, now also joins the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance.

The European Commission acknowledges the growing momentum for renewable hydrogen as an essential energy carrier for the decarbonisation of our societies.

In July, the European Commission presented a EU Hydrogen Strategy, underlined by the launch of the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance.

Vattenfall will be one of the members of this network, which currently includes more than 250 members.

“As a fully integrated European utility, Vattenfall is investing in the growth of renewable energy sources, in particular offshore wind, in various European markets. With wind energy as a crucial source for renewable hydrogen projects we are aiming to further implement hydrogen technology in collaboration with industrial partners in various sectors to thereby help achieve climate neutrality in Europe. Being part of the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance is a great opportunity for us to use our experience, expertise and strengths to actively contribute to the creation of a European hydrogen market.”

Gunnar Groebler, Senior Vice President Business Area Wind and Vattenfall’s representative in the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance

The European Clean Hydrogen Alliance is set to facilitate the implementation of actions of the recently published EU Hydrogen Strategy. By building up a clear and concrete pipeline of renewable hydrogen projects and investment plans, the Alliance will play a crucial role in achieving the commitment of the EU to become carbon-neutral by 2050.

Vattenfall’s view on hydrogen
Following the goal of enabling fossil-free living within one generation, Vattenfall sees an important role for renewable hydrogen in the decarbonisation of the so-called hard-to-abate sectors. These are areas where direct electrification is not possible, such as the steel industry, refineries and heavy-duty transport.

Vattenfall’s accelerated renewables growth is an important pillar for reaching this goal. In particular investments in large offshore wind projects such as the Dutch 1.5 GW project Hollandse Kust Zuid can help trigger the large-scale development of renewable hydrogen use cases. Thanks to its high number of full-load hours, offshore wind is well suited to fuel electrolysers with renewable electricity for the production of hydrogen.

This goal holds not only true for Vattenfall’s own energy production. Instead, Vattenfall is also actively supporting the transition of several other (industrial) sectors, that account for high CO2-emissions.

Against this background, Vattenfall is cooperating with industrial partners to enable the decarbonization of industrial processes making use of renewable hydrogen, e.g. HYBRIT, the fossil-free steel project run by Vattenfall together with SSAB and LKAB.
