The first EU-wide auction (IF23 Auction) for the production of RFNBO (renewable fuel of non-biological origin) hydrogen was launched on 23 November 2023 and closed on 8 February 2024. The auction attracted 132 projects bids from 17 European countries. After evaluation, seven renewable hydrogen projects were selected and will receive nearly €720 million in project support from the Innovation Fund. Altogether, the selected projects will cover 1.5 Gigawatts electric (GWe) of electrolyser capacity, and produce a total volume of 1.58 million tonnes of RFNBO hydrogen over ten years.

Hydrogen, largely expected to be the next-generation energy source, holds its greatest promise in generating electricity and heat without emitting carbon dioxide while being abundantly available in water and diverse sources, including fossil energy. Japan, where energy resources are limited, has led globally by formulating the Basic Hydrogen Strategy in 2017 and advancing the development of hydrogen-related technologies. Tokyo aims to enhance the development of large-scale hydrogen stations and establish facilities on publicly-owned coastal land to produce and supply green hydrogen using renewable energy sources.

This brief “Understanding the proposed guidance for the Inflation Reduction Act’s Section 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit” by ICCT reviews key aspects of the 2023 proposed guidance. After explaining the IRA’s requirements for the hydrogen production tax credit, it summarises how the guidance would address such issues as determining life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during the hydrogen production process, accounting for the GHG emissions of electricity use, and rules about renewable natural gas (RNG), among other topics.

Fortescue Ltd, an Australian metal mining and green energy company has formally established a production plant in Gladstone, Queensland, with the capacity to produce over 2 GW of electrolyser stacks annually. This is one of the first factories in the world to produce Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyser stacks with an automated assembly line. The plant will manufacture electrolysers that Fortescue teams in the US and Australia created internally.

Between 2016 and 2020, the manufacturing sector made up 23.8% of Vietnam’s GDP, with almost one-fifth—5% of the manufacturing sector—coming from the domestic iron and steel industries. Surprisingly, the steel sector alone is responsible for 7% of Vietnam’s total CO2 emissions. Decreasing emissions from iron and steel will require transitioning away from fossil fuels that have traditionally powered production and shifting toward low or zero-emission alternatives.

This technical report “Levelized Cost of Dispensed Hydrogen for Heavy-Duty Vehicles” by NREL explores the range of levelized costs of dispensed hydrogen (H2) from hydrogen refuelling (or fueling) stations (HRS) for H2 heavy-duty fuel cell electric vehicles that are feasible in the 2030 timeframe. Different scenarios by varying hydrogen delivery distances, HRS sizes, HRS utilisation rates, and economies of scale in the Hydrogen Delivery Scenario Analysis Model are inspected.

Chevron New Energies, a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., announced it is developing a 5 MW hydrogen production project in California’s Central Valley. The project aims to create lower carbon energy by utilising solar power, land, and non-potable produced water from Chevron’s existing assets at the Lost Hills Oil Field in Kern County. Reportedly, this low carbon intensity (LCI) electrolytic hydrogen will be produced through electrolysis, which is the process of using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Green hydrogen is critical for meeting India’s energy security needs while reducing emissions in hard-to-abate sectors. Recognising this, the Indian government launched the National Green Hydrogen Mission in early 2022. The aim is to spur green hydrogen production and consumption through roughly $2.3 billion in incentive funding, to be distributed between 2022 and 2030. Recently, the sector witnessed key auction results and policy announcements by the government.
