There are tons of these projects, 100s of GW, all over Africa etc. All they need is good financing options, just like renewables - which the ECB are categorically blocking, to maintain shareholder value
Fossil fuel subsidies are €60bn per year in the EU, rising to €136bn in 2022. 75% of this goes directly to shareholders. We don't seem to be able to stop, and without hydrogen it's a never ending doom-loop
€0.80-1.60/kg in GCC.. just add pipelines, which are being fast-tracked via the PCI/PMI list
Europe imports 60% of its energy as fossil fuels. Once the pipelines are built, this will start switching to hydrogen; 25-35% as per electricity and gas TSOs
Anti-hydrogen lobbyists keep trying to throw spanners in the works to maintain the fossil shareholder monopoly, funded by taxpayers..
'All power to you' - you mean when the global economy crashes because we couldn't figure out that converting electricity into hydrogen is not difficult or expensive..
Aviation? Shipping? Heavy industry? Seasonal energy storage? On-demand power? Etc etc
Because u is just some ugly guy, not paying for the murder of individuals
💀☠️DEMONIC☠️💀
€0.80-1.60/kg production cost. LNG at €1.80-eq
Hydrogen will replace fossil fuels, and trying to pretend otherwise is morally, philosophically unethical
Or, rather than the waffle, what about *doing hydrogen* as completely planned and financed by energy system operators and the European Commission?
Have you actually read the TYNDP or is it just trivia, all these pipes & wires etc
Hydrogen networks need to be planned and built, as they are being in the EU

Hydrogen investment to 2050:
South Africa: $150 billion
Chile: $330 billion
Colombia: $244 billion
Europe (to 2040): $240 billion
There are a lot of ideological biases against hydrogen. But hydrogen is not going away: it is required for 25-35% of the energy system. Some people are having a very hard time accepting this..
2024.entsos-tyndp-scenarios.eu
Ezekiel Hausfather openly advocates for shale oil production, completely disregarding the methane emissions associated, and further than that claims that climate tipping points 'don't exist'
Get him out of the IPCC!
25-35% of the EU energy system can and will shift to hydrogen by 2050, as is being planned and implemented by TSOs
Pascal Sabido is a vicious and cynical monster, blocking the energy transition under false pretences and a sustained disinformation campaign
These guys are the anti-hydrogen task force, trying to block both the #SoutH2 pipeline (being built within €240 billion in hydrogen infrastructure investment to 2040) and now the $150 billion in planned investment in hydrogen to 2050 in South Africa
Sand batteries really could make an impact
I have never heard of Albertville
The hydrogen economy is not getting enough publicity, unfortunately. Despite €240bn in funding to 2040 in the EU..
Hydrogen is set to replace 25-35% of total EU energy consumption, as planned by the Commission, TSOs etc
It's a major component of the net zero agenda
Insightful
Interesting show
The 'battery-everything' stuff is a charade
You will never get away from hydrogen One quarter to one third of the EU energy system is switching; and frankly, who cares about 25c/kWh electricity OR gas when you CANNOT store that for industry or long duration as batteries, and the solar itself costs around 2c? It's just ideology
Rent prices..
Hydrogen replaces fossil fuels ↓
Without a strong focus on #hydrogen - plus global knowledge & technology transfer, and economies of scale via the global market - people should not be surprised when VRE and batteries fail to replace all fossil fuels
Only H2 replaces long duration, high temperature and dispatchable energy use!
The other option is just wait for hydrogen and get a hydrogen-ready boiler, or wait for district heating. Again, powered by a fuel cell (initially biogas or natural gas, and then hydrogen when it's available), this provides constant power and heat. Ideal if there is a local district heating network
Home fuel cells for larger houses would be ideal. These feed back into the local grid like solar panels if this option is available; you produce your own electricity, and you make money by selling the excess
Japan have 150,000 home fuel cells; which do not require external electricity generation
That's why we need to replace gas storage? I think we can see the options here
Not sure I understand. We are talking about zero emissions storage options for heat?
Not seasonal energy storage? More the infrastructure cost?
