The HIGGS project moves forward
|
|
The new European directives on energy and the environment are clear: the continent's economy must be decarbonized and efforts must be intensified to reduce polluting emissions, with the horizon of a decrease of up to 45% by 2030.
|
That is precisely the objective of the HIGGS project (Hydrogen In Gas GridS: a systematic validation approach at various admixture levels into high pressure grids), which aims to analyze the existing potential and the requirements on the infrastructure, its components and its management that involves injecting hydrogen in current high-pressure natural gas transportation networks, something that will undoubtedly contribute to decarbonizing gas uses.

The development of the Hydrogen Master Plan in Aragon 2021-2025 is underway
|
|
|
|
The process of preparing the Hydrogen Master Plan in Aragon 2021-2025 that will lay the foundations for the initiatives and projects to be carried out until 2025 is already underway.
|
|
The drafting of the fourth plan that the Aragon Hydrogen Foundation has will be preceded by a broad participatory analysis and reflection, in which the main hydrogen development agents are already taking part, as well as the potential users of this technology that it has. with the support of both the European Union and its member states, aware that it can be decisive in achieving the established decarbonization objectives of the economy.

The HIGGS project launches its website
The HIGGS project already has its own website. This European cooperation initiative will study for 36 months the possibilities of injecting hydrogen into current natural gas networks as a way to reduce CO2 emissions in sectors that are difficult to electrify. The Aragon Hydrogen Foundation coordinates this project, in which participate Redexis (Spain), DVGW (German Gas and Water Association), Tecnalia (Spain), HSR (University of Applied Sciences of Rapperswil, Switzerland) and ERIG (Research Institute European for gas and energy innovation, based in Belgium).

Green Hydrogen in Developing Countries
|
|
Green hydrogenâhydrogen produced with renewable energy resourcesâcould provide developing countries with a zero-carbon energy carrier to support national sustainable energy objectives, and it needs further consideration by policy makers and investors. Developing countries with good renewable energy resources could produce green hydrogen locally, generating economic opportunities, and increasing energy security by reducing exposure to oil price volatility and supply disruptions.

Industry, green hydrogen and Europe
A new hope runs through Europe, or so it seems. Apparently we are closer to the fulfillment of Jeremy Rifkin's predictive analysis, already included in his 2002 book The hydrogen economy, according to which a new industrial revolution with hydrogen would be promoted. Green hydrogen obtained by electrolysis of water with renewable energies, thereby contributing to the decarbonization of the economy, essential in the face of climate change which, even in the brutal pandemic, continues to be the true structural emergency of our time.

European Commission Calls for Increased Hydrogen Use, Creating More Competition for NatGas
In another sign of the surging global interest in using hydrogen to reduce carbon emissions, the European Commission (EC) recently published what it called a âroadmapâ for the European Union (EU) to install at least 6 GW of renewable hydrogen electrolyser capacity by 2024 and 40 GW by 2030.

Spanish to make fertilizer from green hydrogen
The companies will build a facility with capacity to produce 720 metric tons (t) per year of green hydrogen next to Fertiberiaâs ammonia plant in Puertollano, Spain, 250 km south of Madrid. Costing $175 million, it will feature a 100MW photovoltaic plant that generates electricity to power electrolyzers for splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen. Fertiberia will then combine the hydrogen with nitrogen to form ammonia.
