Cummins Enze, located in Foshan, Guangdong Province in China, will initially invest $47 million (RMB 300 million) to locate a manufacturing plant to produce proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. The plant will initially have a manufacturing capacity of 500 megawatts of electrolyzers per year upon completion in 2023, which will be gradually increased over the next five years to reach one gigawatt of manufacturing capacity per year.

The scheme, which will be managed and implemented by a special-purpose entity named HINT.CO, will initially result in losses as the production cost of green hydrogen is still high.
The German government's funds will be used to offset those losses for a maximum of 10 years.

Commission proposes new EU framework to decarbonise gas markets, promote hydrogen and reduce methane emissions
Publish Date: 12/15/2021
The Commission's proposals (regulation and directive) create the conditions for a shift from fossil natural gas to renewable and low-carbon gases, in particular biomethane and hydrogen, and strengthen the resilience of the gas system. One of the main aims is to establish a market for hydrogen, create the right environment for investment, and enable the development of dedicated infrastructure, including for trade with third countries.

Could the green hydrogen boom lead to additional renewable capacity by 2026?
Publish Date: 12/1/2021
In addition, the mismatch between currently planned projects and the demand for green hydrogen output remains a key uncertainty for future electrolyser expansion. Government policies are currently more focused on decarbonising hydrogen production than developing demand for new applications, and current country ambitions to stimulate hydrogen use in new applications are not sufficient to meet their net zero pledges (IEA, 2021a).
Germany’s Offshore Wind Industrial Strategy
Publish Date: 12/2/2021
One area in which Germany is increasing its monetary support is the development of hydrogen from renewable energy, including offshore wind. In an update to the country’s National Hydrogen Strategy, detailed in another commentary in this series, Germany is planning to develop 10 GW of green hydrogen production capacity by 2030. As part of this, the government plans to invest €50 million ($58 million) in pilot projects to produce green hydrogen from offshore wind. In addition, an effort from German manufacturing giant Siemens to build an offshore wind turbine with a built-in electrolyzer will see €100 million ($117 million) from the government’s science ministry.

Mitsubishi Heavy Says Green Hydrogen Production May Struggle in Europe
Publish Date: 11/12/2021
Hydrogen is misinterpreted because you value hydrogen not as a fuel but as a means to secure an uninterruptible supply. So you don’t compare hydrogen with natural gas plus carbon credit. You compare hydrogen within a battery of literally indefinite capacity. That’s a very realistic business case. And we’re going to witness this happening much earlier than anticipated. We don’t have the time [to wait] for new technologies.

Policy Priorities to Spur the Green Hydrogen Economy
Publish Date: 10/18/2021
With the appropriate incentives and policies deployed now, green hydrogen will be cost competitive in the next decade and can be widely deployed to reduce emissions in the most challenging sectors. Policymakers must make concerted efforts to address the immediate green price gap, develop new end uses, and deploy supporting infrastructure for green hydrogen. The speed and scale of need is immense but this is what must be done for hydrogen to play its crucial part in preserving a future for coming generations.
Green Hydrogen Could Compete With Gray in a Decade, Engie Says
Publish Date: 11/19/2021
Green hydrogen, a clean energy source made from water and renewable power, could become competitive in a decade, according to French utility Engie SA.
That relies on Europe setting up the necessary regulatory framework to drive up demand and slash costs, Sebastien Arbola, the company’s head of thermal generation, hydrogen and energy supply, said Tuesday in Paris. The “tipping point” for renewable hydrogen to compete with gray hydrogen -- which is made from methane and emits carbon -- could be in 2030-2035, he said.

“We’re splitting water with a combination of electricity and this high temperature steam,” Gross says. “And that’s what leads to a breakthrough in efficiency, and that leads to an eventual breakthrough in price.” Because the technology uses steam, it can use less electricity, making it as much as 45% more efficient. Since it also can run throughout the night, “we can amortize the cost of the electrolyzer over 24 hours, instead of over 6 hours a day,” he says. “And that four-to-one better amortization leads to lower cost hydrogen.”
