There is no shortage of promising use cases for hydrogen made from renewable electricity. But how is an industry that currently only operates at the level of tens of MW going to reach GW-scale quickly enough to meet the ambitious targets that governments worldwide are setting for it? Dentons, ILF and Operis address this question in a white paper on Scaling up Green Hydrogen in Europe.
Experts look across the hydrogen value chain and consider both the physical and contractual/regulatory infrastructure that a hydrogen economy will need. They also consider how to match supply and demand for hydrogen; suggest possible models for financing hydrogen projects and trading their output; and review the role of public financial support and other policy interventions. the companies are optimistic about the long-term prospects for this new industry, but also realistic about the nearer-term challenges it faces.
The white paper was launched at an online seminar on Friday February 26, 2021. To view a recording of the seminar, click here.
