Global Scans · Hydrogen · Weekly Summary

• [New] Most large economies have committed to net-zero by 2050, driving demand for clean energy, building retrofits, EV infrastructure, and emerging systems like hydrogen and carbon capture. ZACUA VENTURES
• [New] For years European industry has been widely touting hydrogen as a clean replacement for natural gas used by industry, even though hydrogen will just maintain Europe's fossil fuel economy. Corporate Europe Observatory
• [New] Integration with solar power plants and green hydrogen projects could create a hybrid renewable energy system, maximizing clean energy output and further supporting Tunisia's transition to a low-carbon economy. Abhijeet Shirke
• [New] The Green Hydrogen H2 Notos project is a visionary undertaking that will initially produce 200 kt of green hydrogen per year, scaling up to 1 Mt by 2030, supported by a dedicated pipeline to Europe. Abhijeet Shirke
• [New] The scale - up to 1 Mt per year corresponds with forecasts indicating Europe's hydrogen demand could reach several million tonnes annually within the next decade. Abhijeet Shirke
• [New] The proximity to Europeonly 150 km from Italy at the nearest pointmakes Tunisia a strategic partner in helping the European Union meet its REPowerEU targets, which aim to import 10 Mt of green hydrogen annually by 2030. Abhijeet Shirke
• [New] The Tunisian government has set an ambitious target to produce 8 million tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2050, of which 6 Mt is earmarked for export and 2 Mt for domestic use. Abhijeet Shirke
• [New] The amended regulation provides a more inclusive interpretation of hydrogen that can generate credits, allowing hydrogen produced with accompanying carbon capture and sequestration technology to contribute toward the 80% renewable hydrogen requirement by 2030. cCarbon
• [New] Japan's Suntory plans to build a 16 MW power-to-gas plant aimed at producing green hydrogen to support its distillery operations. NenPower
• [New] With a better base of infrastructure and much stronger demand and supply incentive support, the Hydrogen Council estimates a further 26 MMt / y of clean hydrogen demand could be cost positive by 2030. IHS Global, Inc.
• [New] $7.8 billion will be spent on clean hydrogen supply in 2025, with $6 billion going to electrolysis projects and $1.8 billion to hydrogen produced via natural gas with carbon capture and sequestration. IHS Global, Inc.
• [New] Renewable energies could supply a substantial part of the European energy mix in 2050, of which hydrogen could account for up to 20%, notably 20-50% of energy demand in transport and 5-20% in industry. Topics | European Parliament
• The European Union, for example, which has caps on fossil-fuel emissions in many sectors, mandates that 42% of hydrogen used by 2030 originate from renewable sources. MIT Technology Review
• The Namibian government's Green Hydrogen and Derivatives Strategy, released in 2022, envisions the creation of three hydrogen valleys, along the southern, central, and northern coasts, with a target production of 10 million to 12 million metric tons per year by 2050. MIT Technology Review
• Today's industrial strategy identifies clean energy as one of the sectors with the highest growth opportunity, and we are going to see tens of billions of pounds of new investment in wind energy, grid and hydrogen in the coming years. GOV.UK
• Japan has set a target to become carbon neutral by 2050, and its government is heavily investing in hydrogen as a clean energy source. The Edge Malaysia
• The government initiative for green hydrogen, with an outlay of Rs19,744 crore under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, promises to develop 5 million metric tonnes of production capacity by 2030, providing another pillar to India's clean energy framework. Organiser
• Beyond domestic benefits, hydrogen ICE technologies could create valuable export opportunities for the UK, particularly as Europe increasingly favours hydrogen for heavy-duty applications. John Cordell Driving Instructor
• In a groundbreaking development that could redefine the future of clean energy, scientists in India have successfully created a scalable, next-generation device that generates green hydrogen using only solar energy. SME Futures
• The development of affordable, high-performance catalysts for green hydrogen production is rapidly accelerating that reality, and it all boils down to a scientific breakthrough that could transform how we power the world. archyde
• National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to position India as a global leader in hydrogen energy, reducing fossil fuel dependence and creating new opportunities in clean energy. BDB India Private Limited
• The National Green Hydrogen Mission, like other missions, envisions making India a global leader in hydrogen, with an initial emphasis on green hydrogen. BusinessLine
