Asia Green Hydrogen Index: Australia and Mainland China Outperform

Asia Green Hydrogen Index: Australia and Mainland China Outperform

March 5, 2023 |

We believe that Asia holds high potential for green hydrogen production and consumption, which will be gradually capitalised on this decade. Australia and Mainland China are outperformers in our Green Hydrogen Suitability Index, scoring above other regional and global peers due to strong renewables sectors and pipeline of projects. We highlight that hydrogen developments in Asia are increasing as well, with markets such as India and Singapore capitalising on their potential to be key players in the global hydrogen trade.

Critical Materials for Scaling Up Hydrogen

Critical Materials for Scaling Up Hydrogen

February 12, 2023 | , ,

Hydrogen is expected to grow sevenfold to support the global energy transition, eventually accounting for 10 percent of total energy by 2050. A scale-up of this magnitude will affect demand for critical materials, including minerals and metals, needed for hydrogen technologies— electrolyzers for renewable hydrogen, carbon storage for clean hydrogen, or fuel cells using hydrogen to power transport.

Hydrogen Levy in UK: E3G Briefing

Hydrogen Levy in UK: E3G Briefing

February 8, 2023 | ,

Hydrogen will have a role in the UK’s transition to net zero. However, independent analysis does not support its use to heat homes: it is inefficient, expensive and brings safety risks. The government should therefore fund its hydrogen revenue support mechanism through normal government spending, rather than unfairly charging consumers. E3G has previously urged the government to support green hydrogen produced from renewable electricity.

G20 and Green Hydrogen: India must strive for leadership

G20 and Green Hydrogen: India must strive for leadership

December 23, 2022 |

India’s close friend and ally, Japan, first put hydrogen on the G20 agenda during its presidency in 2019. With India taking over the G20 presidency on December 1, 2022, it must seize the opportunity to propel the green hydrogen discussion to new heights. The years till 2030 are critical for green hydrogen’s development trajectory. India, with its green hydrogen leadership ambitions, can influence the pace and direction of the hydrogen agenda during its G20 presidency.

Hydrogen Delivery Options in Europe: Report

Hydrogen Delivery Options in Europe: Report

November 17, 2022 | ,

To implement the European Hydrogen Strategy it is important to understand whether the transport of hydrogen is cost effective, or whether hydrogen should be produced where it is used. If transporting hydrogen makes sense, a second open question is how long the transport route should be for the cost of the hydrogen to still be competitive with locally produced hydrogen.
