The lack of demonstrated success and heightened financial risks for carbon capture projects in #Canada indicate that public investments in this technology are unlikely to bring lasting positive economic benefits to host communities. hubs.li/Q031V86q0

Complimentary #hydrogen webinar, register here: okt.to/V89PQL. Dial back up on Weds 15th Jan as we recap 2024 & look to H1: • Industry bright spots • Hard investment drivers • Options for offtakes • Key policy developments needs for 2025

After 2+ years, 30,000 comments, and intense debate, the Treasury published final rules for the 45V hydrogen tax credit today, perhaps the most complex program in the IRA. I've got all the details on where things landed and what key stakeholders think. heatmap.news/climate/final-…

45V fans, today is your day. Final rules are out, with significant changes on key issues like: ➡️ Pathways to meet the new clean power requirements for nuclear, natural gas, and states with strong standards. home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…

1/ Ight here's my list of every substantial issue in the 45V final guidance, for hydrogen gremlins only. Congress gave the Treasury a herculean task: set up an LCA system for every way you could make hydrogen. And... they did. Because they are patriots. Let's get it:

Just launched! Today in Cairo at the Egypt-EU investment conference we launched the GH2 International Green Hydrogen Centre of Excellence together with @NileUniversity gh2.org/article/green-…

Great work from CATF and EDF on accounting for upstream methane emissions from oil and gas operations in the US. 👏 blogs.edf.org/energyexchange… via @EDFEnergyEx and @gh2org

Join us for the 2024 India Green Hydrogen Offtake and Investor Roadshow to explore the most advanced green hydrogen & green ammonia projects. 📅 16-21 June 2024 📍 Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bikaner, Paradip 🔗 Register now: gh2.org/IndiaRoadshow #5milliontonnesby2030

🌍This #EarthDay, we're celebrating renewable energy and green hydrogen! In 2023, we've added over 500 GW to our capacity, a 50%⬆️from 2022.🍃By 2028, we're set for a green wave with 5.2 MT of green ammonia production. #greenleapwithgreenhydrogen #KeepItTo1Point5 @GRA_Renewables

See our joint letter with industry, environmental NGOs and think tanks to the @EU_Commission @MarosSefcovic @KadriSimson today: Only a robust low-carbon hydrogen definition will reduce emissions and increase security in Europe gh2.org/article/joint-…

@IEA: #CleanEnergy has grown twice as fast as #FossilFuels since 2019. Despite disruptions, low-emissions electricity surged 1,800 TWh. Fossil fuels < 850 TWh, less than #Solar (910 TWh) & #Wind (885 TWh) alone. Explore GRA's #3xRenewables Policy Agenda: ow.ly/v6jy50QJU9r

Take away from Tokyo Smart Energy Week: impressive catching up by Japanese companies in the electrolyser space, having new PEM membranes on show etc. Key now is that the government opts for a strategy giving green and genuinely low carbon hydrogen a chance to compete. @gh2org #GreenHydrogen #tokyosmartenergyweek

@maximsagot @gh2org My understanding is that the IEA follows the IPHE. And IPHE only has partial scope 3 coverage. The emissions from the construction, manufacturing, and decommissioning of the capital goods (including hydrogen production device, etc.) are *not* considered. See IPHE v3 p38

@sbartle2 @gh2org Embedded emissions are already taken into account in IEA’s assessments of the carbon footprint of the different production pathways for hydrogen (grey, blue, pink…). I guess the issue especially rises for green H2 as, without them, it is excessively promoted as « zero carbon ».

"Les couleurs de l'hydrogène comptent" plaide la Green Hydrogen Organisation, prenant le contrepieds des recommandations de l'@IEA et des approches 🇺🇸🇬🇧 centrées sur le contenu carbone de l'hydrogène. Avec des arguments intéressants et d'autres points de vue contestables 🧶⤵️

@maximsagot @gh2org For an example of best practice, check out the @iha_org G-RES tool. Includes embedded emissions amortised over the life of the project. We should do the same for all electricity sources and all H2 pathways. g-res.hydropower.org

@sbartle2 @gh2org It is an interesting move to encourage stakeholders to report and include embedded emissions even though it is optional. With reasons I understand. With correct embedded emissions from 🇨🇳 solar PV, the GH2 Standard threshold cannot be met: 0.9 to 2.5 kgCO2/kgH2 according to IEA.

@maximsagot Actually, the @gh2org GHS 2.0 (Req 5e) was recently updated to address this issue. We use 1 kg well to gate because our standard focuses on production. But we are in complete agreement that we need to full life cycle analysis (LCA) including CAPEX / embedded emissions

Car leur position est ici de mauvaise foi : GH2 ne prône pas non plus une ACV complète du bilan carbone de l'H2 ! Le Green Hydrogen Standard qu'ils proposent exclut, par convention, les émissions liées à la construction des équipements (dites "CAPEX"). twitter.com/gh2org/status/…
