Slovak natural gas transmission system operator Eustream aims to be technologically ready to blend up to 5% hydrogen into its gas system by 2023

Ineos plans to "move to the production and use of hydrogen by all businesses at the Grangemouth site" by 2030, along with CCS of at least 1 million mt/year,

Spain approved in October 2020 a Hydrogen Roadmap through to 2030 with an expected investment of Eur8.9 billion in the sector with targets to reach 4 GW of electrolyzers and other targets.

Australia's hydrogen industry said more is needed from the government to help the industry reach commercial scale.

Russia is considering developing hydrogen projects based on nuclear, natural gas and renewables, and plans to capitalize on domestic resources, existing energy supply routes, and proximity to potential future consumers in Europe and Asia.

Безуглеродные источники энергии – гидроэлектростанции, атомные электростанции, возобновляемые источники энергии – в 2020 году заняли 40,8% в структуре российской генерации, рассказал директор Департамента развития электроэнергетики Минэнерго России Андрей Максимов

The World Bank has awarded a US$380m loan to build the 1,040 MW Upper Cisokan pumped-storage hydropower plant, to be located between Jakarta and Bandung in Indonesia.

What fuels increased electricity production year-on-year? Coal – up 34.7% (112.5 million MWh) Wind – up 10% (17.4) Solar – up 29% (12.6)

China has unveiled a plan to expand its pumped-storage hydropower capacity to 62 GW in 2025 and 120 GW in 2030.

Rosatom was working with the Sakhalin Oblast government on comprehensive measures to support the project, including those related to organising a hydrogen production complex on the island, where hydrogen can be produced for the needs of the transport sector.

In fact, “renewable” energy is the least renewable, sustainable, eco-friendly energy source of all. Any ESG program that fails to recognize this is dishonest, even fraudulent – and must be reformed or scrapped.

From small wind, micro hydro, tidal, geothermal, biomass, and even hydrogen fuel cell technology, any of these combinations contain the keys to unlocking a hybrid solution that will overcome the dependence we have on fossil fuels.

“Sinopec will expand forcefully into making hydrogen from renewable energy, and zero in on hydrogen for transportation fuel and using green hydrogen for refining,” acting Chairman Ma Yongsheng said.

Renewables account for 15% of Iran’s installed capacity, with 11.9 GW of hydro, 410 MW of solar and 300 MW of wind.

A booming, UK-wide hydrogen economy could be worth £900 million and create over 9,000 high-quality jobs by 2030, potentially rising to 100,000 jobs and worth up to £13 billion by 2050.
