On 20 November 2023, Directive 2023/2413 as regards to the promotion of energy from renewable sources (REDIII) entered into force, thereby amending the previous Directive 2018/2001 (REDII). The new directive aims to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels in the industry sector, as well as to decarbonise industrial emissions (recitals 59-61). Thus, it introduces notable changes by mandating the sector to increase the contribution of renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RNFBO). More specifically, under art. 22a(1), para. 5, an obligation is placed on Member States to ensure that by 2030, RFNBO makeup at least 42% of hydrogen used for final energy and non-energy purposes in industry, rising to 60% by 2035.

Minnesota is uniquely positioned to take advantage of DGA. The current centralized ammonia production system can provide farmers with low-cost fertilizer, but also exposes farmers to price volatility and supply chain disruptions. Localized, distributed ammonia production can complement the existing system to hedge against negative outcomes as well as reduce emissions from fertilizer production.

A more supportive policy framework and public investment of just £2.1–3.5bn can put the UK on the path to a clean steel future that supports both the economy and people. UK steel demand is set to grow 26% by 2030. As an extremely carbon-intensive material – production making up 2.4% of the UK’s territorial emissions – it is crucial that the UK decarbonise its steel supply to mitigate the impacts of climate change. A brighter future for UK steel is possible.

Hydrogen has the potential to become a transformational decarbonization solution for many parts of the U.S. economy. It can be used as clean burning fuel, an energy storage medium or a feedstock for manufacturing processes. However, hydrogen’s promise to help reduce emissions depends on whether it’s “clean” — which means it’s produced with zero to little emissions, reducing emissions overall instead of adding to them. Deploying clean hydrogen still faces significant obstacles, including the insufficient availability of clean power.

Voltalia, in partnership with TAQA Arabia, signed a framework agreement at the Egypt-EU Investment Conference 2024, which took place on June 29 and 30 in Cairo. Following a MoU signed in December 2022, the agreement aims to develop a cluster that integrates renewable energy and green hydrogen production. The project will be carried out in two identical phases, with each phase incorporating a 500 MW electrolyzer powered by more than 1.3 GW of solar and wind energy.

It identifies and provides an overview of the policies containing provisions on hydrogen, specifying which aspects of hydrogen they address, and how they impact the components (supply, demand, infrastructure) of the EU hydrogen market. Then it offers an insight into the financing of the EU hydrogen framework, categorising the instruments available according to the type of support they provide, their deployment stage, the technologies they cover, and whether they are open to applications from all EU Member States.
