Where in Europe is the best place to produce green hydrogen? That’s a question many project developers and governments are trying to answer right now, as the continent seeks to ditch fossil fuels and reach net-zero emissions by mid-century. 1/7
Last year, we saw clean electricity close the gap in demand growth across many fast-growing regions in the world 🌎
This was especially the case in Latin America and Europe, where clean electricity overtook fossils in meeting demand growth #GER23

🇩🇪 produced 44% of the 🇪🇺 lignite in 2022, but reported 1% of the emissions from active surface mines in the EU.
Methane from 🇩🇪 coal mines is visible from satellite data, indicating that coal mine methane emission data aren't adequately estimated.

🇩🇪DE adopted an updated #hydrogen strategy today. Biggest surprise: DE now plans with H2 imports already before 2030. Previous gvmnt scenarios didn’t include imports until well into the 2030s. Read why in this thread + further info on the strategy. https://t.co/B7lWCrTiYO
📢 New analysis by #AgoraIndustry, @AgoraEW looks at #LCOH system boundaries to shed light on differences between existing LCOH studies & real-world projects and to provide recommendations for improving the concept’s application.

Renewable hydrogen can play a major role in #justtransition to a #netzero economy. Countries with high energy needs & limited RES potential will need to import #hydrogen & PtX products while renewable-rich countries have large H2 potential with positive impact on their economy.
