Green Hydrogen – frame to fuel of the future

The EU, national and regional governments, and a number of private companies are increasingly developing and promoting strategies with hydrogen as a key energy carrier on the path to net zero emissions. For green hydrogen to accelerate the green energy transition, it will require adoption into sectors, where it is practically absent today. Its versatility means that it can be harnessed by many industries and presents opportunities for sectors that are difficult to decarbonize with renewable electricity, such as steel, agriculture, heavy road-transport and shipping. The increasing interlinking of potential applications is known as sector coupling.

A successful green energy transition, its demands and supplies is greatly depending on how well societies sets favorable conditions to the bringing together of key elements in circular ecosystems and PtX technologies, infrastructures supportive. To relieve the electricity grid of the large amounts of electricity that the green transition inevitably requires, energy should be produced as close as possible to the place it is consumed.

A Hydrogen Hub can be defined as a “network of clean hydrogen producers, potential clean hydrogen consumers, and connective infrastructure located in close proximity.” A hydrogen Hub can be small or big at scale, but the overall mission is the same, namely to develop, accelerate or support sustainable energy production, storage and use across value chains. Put briefly, it is all about bringing together the puzzle pieces wisely.

Hydrogen and PtX – green companions to electricifications

Green hydrogen is currently gaining unpresented momentum and global attention. The EU Commission estimates that green hydrogen will meet 24% of global energy demand by 2050. Whilst direct electrification is key to decarbonisation, green hydrogen and e-fuels are considered main solutions for sectors that are hard to electrify.

Cases

In Hydrogen Valley, we help realize PtX projects from their initial stages and into operations. Our case portfolios cover collaborations into a vast area of research and demonstration projects. Below is a selection of cases related to hydrogen hubs.

Let’s Collaborate

We help partners accelerate their green transitions.

Our vast knowhow tap into the main trends in the green transition, including the potentials around hydrogen hubs and the complexity of their developments. We have a massive network of energy, PtX technology suppliers and developers plus a vast experience in helping the establishments of hydrogen hubs at both small and large scale. Since 2007, we have involved in such funded projects as innovation partner or as a trusted consultancy partner. Our experience include both Danish and international hydrogen hubs.
