Engie plans to create a green hydrogen hub in the UAE and potentially other regions in a deal worth $5 billion, with the first 200 MW green hydrogen and ammonia project being developed in Abu Dhabi.

Canada’s current energy and economic profile presents both challenges and opportunities in achieving these targets given its profile as a major producer, consumer and exporter of energy, and its northern climate.

Hydrogen, until now the missing piece of the clean energy puzzle, is likely to further disrupt energy value chains in coming years.

ENA called on the UK government to increase its hydrogen production capacity target to 10 GW by 2030, up from the current target of 5 GW by that date, to ensure sufficient supply is available, and encourage domestic production.

China aims to boost its pumped storage capacity to 62 GW by 2025 and 120 GW by the end of the decade.

Habeck said it was “completely indisputable” Germany will need more gas-fired power plants as a “backup” solution in case supply from renewables isn't sufficient.

Renewables accounted for 59% of Portugal's power consumption in 2021

The share of renewables in the power mix declined from 48% in 2020 to less than 43% in 2021, with 23% of wind, 9% of solar and 11% of biomass, hydropower and other renewables.

Overall, renewables accounted for nearly 47% of the country's power generation in 2021 (compared to 44% in 2020), with 23% of wind, 11% of hydro and 10% of solar.

“Nuclear power is one of the most promising approaches for efficient, massive and CO2-free hydrogen production,” said Mikhail Chudakov, IAEA Deputy Director General and Head of the Department of Nuclear Energy. “High temperature gas cooled reactors are considered to be the most suitable reactor type for nuclear hydrogen production.”

The facility will plug into an electrical grid that relies on hydropower and is 90% carbon-free,

Specifically, the commission proposed to align the rules for the energy performance of buildings with the European Green Deal and decarbonise the EU's building stock by 2050.

The programme includes €6.9bn of state funding, and €9.5bn of private investments.

The Belgian government released its hydrogen strategy in October and Equinor said the H2BE project would help Belgium deliver on the strategy.
