Hydrogen roadmap - combine climate protection and value creation

Renewables 2020 - IEA Analysis & Forecast to 2025

In May 2020, the IEA market update on renewable energy provided an analysis that looked at the impact of Covid-19 on renewable energy deployment in 2020 and 2021. This early assessment showed that the Covid-19 crisis is hurting – but not halting – global renewable energy growth. Half a year later, the pandemic continues to affect the global economy and daily life. However, renewable markets, especially electricity-generating technologies, have already shown their resilience to the crisis. Renewables 2020 provides detailed analysis and forecasts through 2025 of the impact of Covid-19 on renewables in the electricity heat and transport sectors.

Introduction

Containing the advancing climate crisis is a huge challenge. At the same time, however, it also offers us the opportunity to make our economy ecological and sustainable. Hydrogen will play a central role here. Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies can in particular contribute to making the energy supply, mobility and industrial production of the future more climate-friendly. Of course, this is only possible with “green” hydrogen, which is generated from renewable electricity. Hydrogen offers great economic potential, especially for Europe as a business location: the plants and technologies for hydrogen can be developed and produced here. We assume that tens of thousands of new jobs and revenues in the billions can be created in Europe by 2030. With the watermaterial roadmap, we are now presenting a structured roadmap for the development and expansion of the hydrogen industry in Europe.

Europe

In Europe there are many highly specialized and internationally renowned companies in mechanical and plant engineering as well as leading research institutions in the field of Hydrogen and fuel cell technology based. This structure offers excellent Requirements to help shape the expected market ramp-up of the technologies and thus to create and secure new jobs.

Pioneering role in hydrogen

We have the ambition to establish the potential in the leading pioneering role in hydrogen and fuel cell technology. Europe wants to be a pioneer on both continental and international levels. To this end, the infrastructure is to be expanded, research promoted and companies supported. This roadmap is intended to show the essential fundamentals for the "number 1 technology location". Now it is time to follow this roadmap. This can can only be achieved together - with the experienced players from business, science and associations, but also the young start-ups that enter the market with bold and innovative ideas enrich.

Climate change

CO2 emissions

Limiting climate change by reducing global CO2 emissions is one the central challenges of the 21st century. This requires a profound restructuring of our energy systems and a far-reaching conversion to innovative and emission-free Technologies necessary in all sectors.

Causes and Effects of Climate Change | National Geographic

What causes climate change (also known as global warming)? And what are the effects of climate change?

Learn the human impact and consequences of climate change for the environment, and our lives.

warming

The planet is warming, from North Pole to South Pole. Since 1906, the global average surface temperature has increased by more than 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit (0.9 degrees Celsius) - even more in sensitive polar regions. And the impacts of rising temperatures aren’t waiting for some far-flung future–the effects of global warming are appearing right now. The heat is melting glaciers and sea ice, shifting precipitation patterns, and setting animals on the move.

change

Many people think of global warming and climate change as synonyms, but scientists prefer to use “climate change” when describing the complex shifts now affecting our planet’s weather and climate systems. Climate change encompasses not only rising average temperatures but also extreme weather events, shifting wildlife populations and habitats, rising seas, and a range of other impacts. All of these changes are emerging as humans continue to add heat-trapping greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

Technologies & fuel cells

the energy transition

Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies can contribute significantly in the medium to long term contribute to achieving the climate protection goals. Hydrogen as an energy carrier is in the sectors of power generation, industry, traffic and heating directly or in the form of hydrogenbased synthetic fuels. It can also be saved. Thus is suitable Hydrogen for sector coupling, which will become very important for the implementation of the energy transition in the medium to long term. For this, the technological and regulatory Foundations are laid, with the aim of gradually advancing hydrogen technologies establish.

Green Hydrogen

Bosch

Robert Bosch GmbH plans to spend several hundred million euros to make fuel cells with technology from Ceres Power Holdings Plc. in the U.K. The move will see the German automotive-parts supplier develop a manufacturing capacity of 200 megawatts per year of fuel cells by 2024 for the niche technology that’s so far mostly been deployed in the U.S. and Asia, Ceres said in a statement.

low-carbon power

The technology could form part of a growing trend to find ways to provide dependable, low-carbon power generation to complement intermittent renewable sources. Bosch, which owns about 18% of Ceres, agreed to use the technology after conducting a roughly two-year pilot phase. The 200 megawatts of production will be spread out between factories in Bamberg, Wernau and Homburg. Ceres said it expects to make around 23 million pounds ($30.5 million) on the deal from 2021 to 2023. Shares in Ceres soared as much as 12% in London on the news. While most fuel cells in the world are used for vehicles, there is a growing market to use them for power generation as well.

Technology marketed by Ceres

The market for stationary fuel cell applications grew to 240 megawatts in 2018, up from 148 megawatts in 2014, according to BloombergNEF. The technology marketed by Ceres can use either natural gas or hydrogen. With natural gas as the fuel, the machine separates out the hydrogen first before using it to make electricity. That means the machines could be plugged into the gas grid to deploy for flexible power generation now and later be switched to run on hydrogen produced from renewable power as that becomes cheaper and more widely available.

“If you think that to meet our carbon targets we have to electrify most of society, you’re going to need flexible power generation that can do that in a net zero way and that’s exactly what fuel cells do,”

said Phil Caldwell, Ceres Power’s chief executive officer.

Bosch said it sees a variety of applications for the fuel cells such as in cities, factories, data centers and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

What Is Green Hydrogen And Will It Power The Future?

Hydrogen is a clean-burning molecule, meaning that it can help to decarbonize a range of sectors that have proved hard to clean up in the past. But today, most hydrogen is produced from CO2-emitting fossil fuels. Hydrogen produced from renewable electricity, known as green hydrogen, could be the solution to cutting our carbon footprint. But first, it must overcome a number of challenges.

green technologies

potential

Hydrogen and the technologies required for it offer great potential for industrial and technology locations in Europe. Conventional technologies should be used worldwide be replaced by new, "green" technologies, which means structural change. Also Europe is affected by this structural change. It is a challenge, but it also offers great opportunities for the every country to maintain its current economic efficiency and international competitiveness and to further expand it through existing research and technology expertise as well as innovation. Hydrogen and the technologies required for it are therefore also the focus of the future fields identified by the innovation strategy Europe.

Industrialization through hydrogen

transfer of knowledge

The maintenance and expansion of jobs in Europe should be supported by the industrialization of mobile and stationary hydrogen and fuel cell applications. By networking and clustering the actors in the field of hydrogen and fuel cell technology in the development of systems for generation, storage securing and using hydrogen competitive advantages. Have to Research and development projects for the industrialization and market activation of the technologies are promoted and the transfer of knowledge is stimulated and supported through studies, cooperation, training and further education and events.

Lighthouse projects

technological position

The continuation of existing and the implementation of further lighthouse projects as well as the continuation and initiation of targeted funding programs can create incentives for the development and rapid dissemination of production, storage and usable capacities. The aim is to support european companies in developing their leading technological position in the to assert international competition. The ramp-up of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies can also be advanced and realized through digitization.
