Clean Hydrogen Partnership’s Post

The next important discussion will be looking at the emergence of hydrogen hubs: Evaluating the incentives, financing models for the development of H2 hubs and the technical and operational considerations 📈Update on the US DoE $7billion hydrogen hubs program: timelines and project considerations 💵What government funding for H2 hubs means for the broader hydrogen economy 🔨Addressing the infrastructure requirements 🔵Assessing the CCS aspect of blue Hydrogen projects 🤝Case study – Examples of collaboration in practice on a live project 📢Panellists: Moderated by: Ian Champ, Regional Hubs Manager – Midwest, Clean Air Task Force Eugene Holubnyak, Director of the Hydrogen Energy Research Center, University of Wyoming Amy Cradic, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, New Jersey Resources Register your place: https://hubs.li/Q022q91p0 #NetZero #Industry #Decarbonization #DCII23 #Decarbonisation #Cement #Lime #Chemicals #Steel

ABB will be hosting a number of sessions during SPE Offshore Europe in September in both the #energytransition theatre and #hydrogen hub. Come and talk with us on how we can help you on your journey to #netzero. ABB’s #automation, #electrification and #digital technology can play an essential role and make a world of difference in reducing carbon emissions and costs. #energyfuture #decarbonization #technology #sustainability

One for the calendar folks. Next Tuesday 13th February Dr. Mathew Francis will be presenting on the vital role water treatment plays in the Hydrogen production process.

🇬🇧 How will the regulation of #hydrogen transmission & distribution be in the UK❓ 💡 The UK government has published its “Proposals for hydrogen transport and storage business models”, the result of a consultation process 📲 https://lnkd.in/dJnv_zix 📗 Hydrogen transport and storage infrastructure: minded to positions 👉 https://lnkd.in/dwVNvwUX 📘 Hydrogen transport and storage infrastructure: government response to consultation 👉https://lnkd.in/dP56Qs6e TRANSMISSION 🔹Initial focus for the business model on large-scale pipeline infrastructure 🔹Regulated Asset Base (RAB) ➡️ basis of the business model 🔹External subsidy mechanism to be created alongside a RAB to ensure that charges to users of the pipeline(s) and/or network(s) are not prohibitive, whilst allowing H2 transport providers to make a reasonable return on their investment 🔹External subsidy mechanism to be delivered through private law revenue support contracts between a counterparty and a H2 transport provider receiving the subsidy 🔹The external subsidy mechanism can be used in conjunction with or separately to a RAB 🔹The business model will be designed to be compatible with the future #naturalgas network price control 🔹Strategic planning will form the basis of the allocation process for the business model, and it will help inform the nature and timing of support for early hydrogen transport projects STORAGE Unlike transmission, a RAB-based regualtion is not foreseen, and its development won’t be granted to network companies, but competitive 🤔 🔸The model is to provide protection against demand risk (price&volume risk)
🔸Focus primarily on geological storage, optionallity to support above-ground storage where it faces the same market barriers 🔸Single, enduring business model, adaptable to an evolving hydrogen economy favoured 🔸Commercial design: minimum revenue floor for storage providers to sufficiently mitigate demand risk. Incentive ➡️ storage providers allowed to earn more than the floor if they are able to raise revenue from users
🔸Support duration ➡️ at least 15 years 🔸Incentives for facilities to be built on time, with high levels of availability. Profile of capital repayment possibly sculpted across the duration of the contract
🔸Most suitable delivery mechanism ➡️private law contracts between hydrogen storage providers and the subsidy provider (quick implementation + flexibility to support a range of projects)
🔸Commercial context ➡️ initial users of storage could include hydrogen producers, offtakers and/or hydrogen network companies, and in due course intermediaries. Storage pricing to be driven by supply and demand and reflect the long-run marginal costs of storage facilities
🔸Funding: options include funding via a levy or via Exchequer funding. No decision taken on how it will be funded 🔸Allocation of support ➡️ contract negotiated bilaterally between the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and prospective storage providers. #HydrogenRegulation

Plug is doing real things, here is a short write up I put together describing what it takes to build the largest PEM green hydrogen plant in the world.

Interesting article as we start down the road of execution on our Atura Power Niagara Hydrogen Centre facility in 2024. It is important to share lessons learned like this so the industry can safely and efficiently grow. Thanks Brenor Brophy for the look back.

Here is some roadmap for #hydrogen, where to come from. #fuelcells #zeroemission

Our latest #HydrogenInsights report shows that hydrogen momentum is continuing to grow with over 1,000 projects being announced globally. Furthermore, the IRA in the US has enabled rapid investment, with North America now accounting for 70% of committed clean hydrogen production.

The StormFisher Hydrogen Team had a great time last week at the 3rd Annual World Hydrogen North America Congress hosted by the World Hydrogen Leaders! With planned total direct investments of over $46 billion dollars through 2030, it’s clear that the hydrogen industry is well positioned to grow. Key policy incentives, such as the Inflation Reduction Act and Canada's Clean Hydrogen Investment Tax Credit, will be pivotal for this advancement. Industry collaboration will also be essential as we produce clean fuels and work towards a low carbon future. #Hydrogen #CleanFuels #NetZero https://lnkd.in/gmtPdGPU
