From pilots to industrial scale.
Electrolysis, green vs blue hydrogen, storage, transport and industrial applications.
Hydrogen is promoted as a fuel for sectors that are hard to electrify, such as steel, fertiliser, shipping and seasonal energy storage. This hub covers electrolysers, green and blue hydrogen production, subsidies, hubs and the end uses that make economic sense.
Many announced hydrogen projects have stalled or been cancelled as costs proved higher than expected. Briefs here look at final investment decisions, offtake contracts and the cost of electrolytic hydrogen compared with fossil alternatives. We explain the physics and efficiency losses involved, so readers can judge which proposed uses are realistic and which are not.
Final investment decisions on multiple electrolyzer projects have slipped as developers negotiate longer-term offtake and clarify subsidy eligibility.
