Low carbon hydrogen (whether based on renewable or nuclear electricity, or fossil fuels with carbon capture) is a means … intervention (e.g. mandatory targets, subsidies, decarbonisation policies) so low carbon hydrogen is subject to significant … regulatory risk. The boundary between low carbon hydrogen and electrification is not clear cut. Low carbon hydrogen needs to …

This paper considers potential import routes for low-carbon and renewable hydrogen (H2) to main European markets like … Germany. In particular, it analyses claims made by Hydrogen Europe and subsequently picked up by the European Commission in … its Hydrogen Strategy that there will be 40GW of electrolyser capacity in nearby countries providing hydrogen imports to …

China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of hydrogen. The country has adopted a domestic strategy that … targets significant growth in hydrogen consumption and production. Given the importance of hydrogen in the low-carbon energy … transition, it is critical to understand China’s hydrogen policies and their implementation, as well as the extent to which these …

The future of the European hydrogen supply industry lies at the heart of the European Union’s energy policy, demanding … the unique challenges faced by the emerging hydrogen economy, including the lack of an established market, transportation … and storage infrastructure, uncertainty about demand and supply, and the manufactured nature of hydrogen production. The …

Hydrogen is going to play an important role in future decarbonized energy systems and understanding its interaction … with other energy vectors is crucial to create adequate policies. In this review, the green hydrogen production literature … was classified and analysed to unveil the gaps that avoid a proper integration of hydrogen production in energy system …

Green hydrogen may decarbonize sectors which are difficult to electrify, and the recent Inflation Reduction Act (IRA …) provides tax credits to encourage hydrogen production. We analyze a model in which hydrogen produced using electricity replaces … absence of Pigouvian taxation, optimal hydrogen subsidies are positive if the unpriced externality from avoided natural gas is …

The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies started researching the role of hydrogen in the energy transition in 2020 …. Since then the interest in hydrogen has continued to grow globally across the energy industry. A key research question has … been the extent to which clean hydrogen can be scaled up at reasonable cost and whether it can play a significant role in …

The European Commission has identified hydrogen as a key part of its decarbonisation strategy. The 2022 REPowerEU … Strategy set a target of 20MT consumption of renewable hydrogen by 2030. The Commission is keen to promote a single European … market in hydrogen, similar to the current one for natural gas. To this end it has published proposals on the regulation of …
