How Much Green Hydrogen Is Enough Green Hydrogen?
Official Press Release WindEurope:
How much wind is needed to deliver on the EU’s renewable hydrogen goals?
Direct electrification will be the primary driver for decarbonising the European economy by 2050. Another important element will be renewable hydrogen – it will play a key role in decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy-duty transport. This requires a substantial uptake of highly scalable and cost-competitive wind energy, WindEurope argued at the Green Hydrogen Virtual Summit.
In the EU Hydrogen Strategy, released in July, the European Commission emphasises the role of renewable hydrogen produced from renewable electricity via electrolysis. The Strategy foresees €220-340bn to scale up and directly connect 80-120 GW of wind and solar energy capacity to the production of renewable hydrogen by 2030. Member States such as the Netherlands, Germany and... ... More: Official Press Release WindEurope
