1/ Welcome to the bi-weekly #CleanTechEU thread!🧵👇
This week is a dive into the recently adopted #hydrogen delegated act on #additionality, what we asked for, why, and what made it to the final text & what got lost in compromises.🔎

2/ 1st things 1st: making #RenewableHydrogen means needing #RenewableElectricity ⚡️
When connecting an electrolyser to most of #EU’s electricity grids, the #H2 produced will have a very high #CarbonFootprint🏭👣

3/ But, this can be fixed. Here are a few rules that can ensure that #hydrogen produced on the grid has a minimal climate impact:

1/9 Dedicating #RenewableElectricity to #Hydrogen cannot free the EU from #RussianGas.⚠️ What can, is using renewable electricity efficiently.

2/9 How we use each TWh of electricity has a huge impact on whether we break free⛓️ from #RussianGas.
Using it in #HeatPumps displaces three times more fossil gas than using it to produce.👇

3/9 #REPowerEU foresees the total installed wind 🌬️& PV ☀️capacity to increase from today’s 360 GW to almost 1000 GW + 80 GW of renewables earmarked for #H2.
This will produce over 1000 TWh of electricity⚡️ per year. That’s the 🇫🇷 & 🇩🇪 demand combined.

#India recently announced the National Hydrogen Mission & there's growing interest among leading industry players in #greenhydrogen.
But why is green H2 significant for India's #energytransition?

In a new study, we examined how #greenhydrogen can help in cleaner steelmaking. We found that:
▶️9% blend of #green H2 in steel making would ⬇️India's emissions footprint by 68%
▶️This #greensteel would be competitive with upper range of conventional steel costs at current rates
▶️9% blend of #green H2 in steel making would ⬇️India's emissions footprint by 68%
▶️This #greensteel would be competitive with upper range of conventional steel costs at current rates
If #greenhydrogen costs fell to 1.3-2.2 USD/kg from the current 4-4.5 USD/kg, steelmaking based entirely on #green H2 could break even with #coal-based processes in #India. Globally, electrolyser manufacturers have already committed to a green H2 cost of 1.5 USD/kg by 2025.
That`s why I am working at @Siemens_Energy: without us the sustainable safeguarding of our livelihoods is in seriously jeopardy, because climate goals could no longer be achieved.

This must be an incentive for us to play a decisive role in the transformation of energy systems and only as the leading stakeholder in hydrogen economy makes it perfect.

One masters the value chains in the power-to-X technologies even though they span from renewable energy generation, water, grid integration, electrochemical process technology to downstream logistics. Experienced players combine their strengths in one new entity: @Siemens_Energy
