REPowerEU: How to Deliver on the Hydrogen Accelerator? Ifri Green Deal Virtual Lunch Series
The first REPowerEU proposals aimed at reducing Russian gas demand, boosting resilience and decarbonization, call for a hydrogen accelerator with 10 Mt of additional hydrogen imports by 2030 and 5 Mt of additional domestic production, compared to 10 Mt of domestic production planned in the Fit for 55 package.
As plans are being fine-tuned, this webinar aims to discuss prospects for meeting such very ambitious goals: what type of imports could be considered, from where and through what mechanism? What value chain organization in Europe – local, cluster, cross-regional – can ensure the most cost efficient and rapid ramp up of competitive hydrogen and byproducts? Can industrial developments around electrolysers live up the challenge?

The climate and geopolitical crises call for speeding up the implementation of the European Green Deal around two main pillars: reducing energy consumption and investing in low-carbon alternatives. The swift and massive deployment of renewable energies (REN) is a major industrial challenge for...
Facing Russia’s aggression on Ukraine, European countries have enacted economic and financial sanctions against Russia.
The laws of physics and the geographic realities will prevail over the myths of hydrogen (H2): it will essentially be delivering carbon-neutral feedstocks to the chemical and steelmaking industries, carbon-neutral fuels to shipping and aviation, and eventually ensuring security in...
