Racing for Hydrogen: How Gas Giants Are Vying to Stay Relevant
Such transitions are important for getting the clean hydrogen market off the ground, said Daryl Wilson, executive director of the Hydrogen Council. The industry group’s members include gas giants, automakers and Microsoft Corp.
“The marginal cost of converting gray hydrogen into blue hydrogen is much lower than jumping to green hydrogen directly,” Wilson said. “As long as blue hydrogen is useful from an economic point of view, there is no reason for it to go away.”

Germany to support 500 MW electrolyzers abroad with $1.1 billion
The initiative, part of Germany's Eur2 billion hydrogen abroad strategy, would secure long-term hydrogen supply contracts via annual auctions, with funding approved to 2030, it said.
First cargoes of hydrogen or derivatives such as ammonia were expected from 2024.
Energy minister Peter Altmaier named six potential exporters (Saudi Arabia, Canada, Australia, Russia, Ukraine and Chile) with whom he had had talks in recent months.
Norway: Roadmap for hydrogen: Node and research
The road map has the vision that in 2050 a market will be established for the production and use of hydrogen. In the short term, the government will by 2025 facilitate the establishment of five hydrogen hubs in maritime transport in collaboration with private actors, the establishment of one or two industrial projects with associated production facilities and between five and ten pilot projects for the development and demonstration of new and more cost-effective hydrogen solutions and technologies.

U.S. Must Take Lead Role in Hydrogen Use For Our Energy Future
Imagine a leadership role for the U.S. in the multi-trillion-dollar hydrogen economy that is emerging with millions of jobs created. It doesn’t take much imagination to recognize that this has to be part of the future.
How Japan’s Big Bet on Hydrogen Could Revolutionize the Energy Market; The country’s effort to be carbon-free by 2050 relies on a fuel source many see as too expensive and unrealistic
Why green hydrogen is reaching a tipping point; Five drivers of the low-carbon hydrogen market boom
After a pandemic-related dip in Q2 and Q3 2020, investment in low-carbon hydrogen is once again on the up. At least US$4.5 billion was invested in the hydrogen market in the first quarter of 2021 alone, with 55 projects announced.
Until 2019, global estimated electrolyser manufacturing capacity was a mere 200 MW. That has since jumped to 6.3 GW of current announced electrolyser capacity, with 1.3 GW added in Q1 2021 alone and another step up in the announced pipeline.
Of course, this still represents only a small percentage of the almost 1,000 GW of electrolyser capacity needed by 2050 to meet our demand forecasts. However, the exponential rate of growth in manufacturing capacity is clear and likely to continue.

Secretary Granholm Launches Energy Earthshots Initiative to Accelerate Breakthroughs Toward a Net-Zero Economy; First Energy Earthshot Aims to Slash the Cost of Clean Hydrogen by 80% to $1 per Kilogram in One Decade
Currently, hydrogen from renewable energy costs about $5 per kilogram. By achieving Hydrogen Shot’s 80% cost reduction goal, we can unlock a five-fold increase in demand by increasing clean hydrogen production from pathways such as renewables, nuclear, and thermal conversion. This would create more clean energy jobs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and position America to compete in the clean energy market on a global scale.
SGH2 Signs Largest Green H2 Offtake Deals in History to Help Decarbonize the California Transportation Sector
Today, the global energy company SGH2 Energy announced the execution of contracts between its subsidiary SGH2 Lancaster Project Company, LLC and two of California’s largest owners and operators of hydrogen refueling stations (HRS). The companies will use SGH2’s greener than green hydrogen to supply both existing and 90 new refueling stations, which are being rolled out across the state.
Also today, SGH2 Energy and the City of Lancaster announced the signing of their formal public-private partnership establishing the company and city as co-owners of the SGH2 greener than green hydrogen plant based in Lancaster, CA.

EU Targets $1 Billion for Clean Technology in Pact With Bill Gates
The Commission and Breakthrough Energy Catalyst, a program founded by Gates, want to muster the funding in 2022-2026 to build large-scale, commercial-demonstration projects that will deliver significant reductions in carbon dioxide, the European Union’s regulator said on Wednesday. The partners will also invest in direct air emissions capture and long-duration energy storage.

Why Hydrogen May Be Renewable Energy's Best Bet; Wind, solar and lithium ion each have their own shortcomings and are not enough to meet the demands of the future.
California can — and should — lead the world on clean hydrogen
With sustainability and renewable energy becoming more crucial with each day, it makes sense to ask: Why isn’t the U.S. on the list of 30 countries advancing low-carbon economies by leveraging clean hydrogen projects?
Fortunately, that may change with a new administration in Washington. President Biden’s infrastructure-focused American Jobs Plan, which is going through Congress now, includes investments in new hydrogen demonstration projects.
