Chicken or Egg? GH2 proposes solutions to the off-take trilemma
Article

The Green Hydrogen Organisation (GH2) has released a report sketching out considerations for hydrogen off-take agreements. It emphasises the importance of balancing risks between prospective buyers and sellers, given the challenges facing a nascent market. It also analyses the respective merits of fixed & variable pricing models, supply regulation and other key off-take provisions.

Taking the market’s temperature: European Hydrogen Bank awards €720 million
Article

The European Hydrogen Bank has awarded nearly €720 million to seven renewable hydrogen and ammonia projects. The funding will act to bridge the price gap between the cost of hydrogen production and the price buyers are willing to pay. Recipients will receive €0.37 - €0.48 in subsidies per kilogram of renewable hydrogen, and will collectively produce 1.58 million tons of renewable hydrogen over ten years. In conducting a transparent auction process, the European Commission has also provided vital insights into trends in demand for renewable hydrogen and ammonia.

World Bank: new roadmap for scaling project finance
Article

A new report from the World Bank and partners proposes a series of levers to help bridge the finance gap for clean hydrogen production projects. Although clean hydrogen projects emerging markets and developing countries account for 40% of the global pipeline and could attract investment of up to $100 billion per year, a significant finance gap exists to push these projects to “FEED-plus”.

H2Global gets further funding boost
Article

More than €4.7 billion is now available to support the growth of hydrogen derivative imports to the EU. Via its implementation entity Hintco, H2Global has already launched a series of auctions to fund ten-year purchase agreements for methanol, ammonia and SAF.

Global Ammonia Certification As Enabler for Accelerated Investment and Financing
Presentation

Ammonia can be a key clean hydrogen carrier for the coming decades. It offers the prospect of a new clean energy commodity that can be traded widely. However, such trade will depend critically on a harmonized international certification system for the embedded greenhouse gas emissions. This presentation will elaborate the market potential as well as the investment and financing needs based on new analysis. It will draw on the recent clean hydrogen certification experience to suggest solutions for the way ahead.

Green ammonia: Key for the German energy transition
Presentation

To reach climate neutrality by 2045, Germany needs large amounts of green hydrogen and its derivatives. Green ammonia is set to become the first derivative received in large numbers in the short- to medium term and is set to play a crucial role in the decarbonisation as both transport medium and in direct use. The newly updated German hydrogen strategy highlights this and sets concrete targets and proposes actions. What will be the role of ammonia from Australia and how do we advance collaboration and trade?
