Hydrogen is an energy carrier and must therefore be produced from energy resources. The most used production methods are electrolysis and reforming of fossil energy e.g., natural gas. When hydrogen is produced from renewable energy, it is categorized as green hydrogen, while when generated from gas reforming with
The study presents a comprehensive review on the utilization of hydrogen as an energy carrier, examining its properties, storage methods, associated challenges, and potential future implications. Hydrogen, due to its high energy content and clean combustion, has emerged as a promising alternative to fossil fuels in the quest for sustainable energy. Despite its
This review paper offers a crisp analysis of the most recent developments in hydrogen production techniques using conventional and renewable energy sources, in addition to key challenges in the

Following the successful open-call Hydrogen Valleys as Energy Hubs – by 2030 and 2040, Nordic Energy Research is pleased to announce that five projects have officially been recommended for funding. The projects recommended for funding are as follows: Nordic Hydrogen Hubs – Roadmaps towards 2030 and 2040 (NordicH2ubs) Project Partners:
Hydrogen valley. Nordic hydrogen valleys are projects that: Cover a specific geography in at least one Nordic country; Cover at least two steps of the hydrogen value chain (production distribution use) Have a hydrogen production capacity exceeding 500 tpa; Supply hydrogen to at least two different end-use sectors
To reach climate neutrality by 2050, a goal that the European Union set itself, it is necessary to change and modify the whole EU''s energy system through deep decarbonization and reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions. The study presents a current insight into the global energy-transition pathway based on the hydrogen energy industry chain. The paper provides a
Hydrogen is set to become an important energy carrier in Germany in the next decades in the country''s quest to reach the target of climate neutrality by 2045. To meet Germany''s potential green hydrogen demand of up to 587 to 1143 TWh by 2045, electrolyser capacities between 7 and 71 GW by 2030 and between 137 to 275 GW by 2050 are required.
Five case studies will improve our understanding on how to ensure successful cross-sectorial linkage between Nordic hydrogen hubs across land and sea towards 2030 and 2040. This includes studies on safety and standardization related to hydrogen storage in ports and quality assurance for hydrogen used in transportation. On a country
Dihydrogen (H2), commonly named ''hydrogen'', is increasingly recognised as a clean and reliable energy vector for decarbonisation and defossilisation by various sectors. The global hydrogen demand is projected to increase from 70
The project delivers insights into the characteristics of optimal production of hydrogen, ammonia, and other electrofuels, including cost and cost structures for production, storage, and transportation. It will also provide knowledge about demand side characteristics, such as volumes, locational distribution, and emissions. Developing these
Recently, hydrogen (H 2) has been identified as a renewable energy carrier/vector in a bid to tremendously reduce acute dependence on fossil fuels. Table 1 shows a comparative characteristic of H 2 with conventional fuels and indicates the efficiency of a hydrogen economy. The term "Hydrogen economy" refers to a socio-economic system in

Hydrogen valley. Nordic hydrogen valleys are projects that: Cover a specific geography in at least one Nordic country; Cover at least two steps of the hydrogen value chain (production
Unlike international mappings of hydrogen value chains, this report and the digital tool developed for this project are specifically designed to reflect Nordic conditions and regional energy systems. To this end, conceptual definitions of "hydrogen valley" and "hydrogen hotspot" have been developed, tailored specifically to
Strong cooperation across the Nordic countries coupled with the renewable capability from the North Sea through offshore wind, the Swedish steel industry, Icelandic energy production, underground storage opportunities in Denmark, and Norwegian expertise with hydrogen, all create opportunities across the value chain.
In this vein, this policy paper explores the role the Nordics could play in an emerging European hydrogen economy. It provides, first, a brief overview of the current state of climate and energy
Work on hydrogen, e-ammonia, e-methanol and other electrofuels (e-fuels) is becoming increasingly important and is expected to play a vital role in the future energy landscape in the Nordic region, in the EU and across the globe. This requires increased electrification and the expansion of power production.
Unlike international mappings of hydrogen value chains, this report and the digital tool developed for this project are specifically designed to reflect Nordic conditions and
In this vein, this policy paper explores the role the Nordics could play in an emerging European hydrogen economy. It provides, first, a brief overview of the current state of climate and energy policy in the region. It then goes on to review the state-of
Nordic Energy Research invites all interested parties to submit an offer for the tender: "Hydrogen, electrofuels, CCU and CCS in a Nordic context – current situation and future needs and potentials". The purpose of the study is to map the conditions, opportunities and challenges for hydrogen, electro-fuels, carbon capture utilization (CCU) and carbon capture
Against this background, the Nordic region, with its abun-dant renewable energy resources at competitive costs could play an important role as a potential hub for hydrogen pro-duction and trade, involving EU members Finland, Sweden and Denmark, as well as Norway and Iceland, both members of the European Economic Area.
Currently, there are no dedicated hydrogen transport solu-tions in the Nordic region that are fully optimised for the local market (Ihonen et al. 2021). As a result, the distribution of hydrogen produced in the Nordic states takes place mostly by road in compressed form (Lahnaoui et al. 2019).
As a result, the distribution of hydrogen produced in the Nordic states takes place mostly by road in compressed form (Lahnaoui et al. 2019). Additionally, the region’s excellent port infrastructure means that hydro-gen can also be distributed globally through ocean freight.
The Nordics could play a pivotal role in Europe’s emerging hydrogen economy: as technology providers, as producers of green industrial products and as ex-porters of hydrogen. Engagement between the Nordics and their European neighbours should be enhanced in order to mobilise their po-tential for mutually beneficial coopera-tion.
The overall aim of this project is to analyse the potential for hydrogen-based fuel pathways (focusing on hydrogen, ammonia, and electro-methanol) in the Nordic region based on three case studies of energy hubs, centred around ports, in various Nordic location, looking at marine applications new opportunities for local energy and steel companies.
In all the Nordic countries, hydrogen is viewed as an important vehicle for decarbonising domestic industry and transport. Despite their potential to generate surplus renewable electricity, exports of renewable hydrogen and its derivatives feature as a clear policy goal only in Den-mark.
