That trust is built on very concrete pillars:
🔹 Safety as a critical factor, essential for social acceptance and the real deployment of hydrogen.
🔹 A clear regulatory framework, reducing uncertainty and speeding up project development.
🔹 Infrastructure at scale
From Wednesday, 4th of February until Friday the 6th,
#H2Heat is attending the National Green Hydrogen Congress in Spain, taking part in key sessions focused on accelerating the transition from hydrogen ambition to real deployment...
In one of the sessions, Senator Robert Hertzberg delivered a very clear message about the future of the sector:
👉 We can have subsidies, technology and engineering… but without public trust, we have nothing.
District heating networks + large-scale heat pumps = the future of urban energy.
Europe is showing the world how to decarbonise heating efficiently and at scale.
#EnergyTransition#ClimateAction
Europe’s heat pump revolution is here. Germany and Denmark are building the world’s most powerful systems, replacing coal plants with clean heating. The scale is breathtaking. 🧵

Local oxygen production from renewable-powered electrolysis carries just 10% of the carbon footprint of conventionally supplied oxygen when transport is included. No tanker trucks. No cryogenic plants. No supply chain emissions. Pure sustainability.
#CircularEconomy
Spain’s Viamed San José Hospital just became the first facility in Spain to capture and purify oxygen from water electrolysis for medical use.
Their system reaches 99.7% purity, dangerously close to the 99.5% pharmaceutical standard. It's not theoretical anymore.
Every kilogram of hydrogen produced through electrolysis creates 8kg of oxygen, yet most installations simply vent it into the air.
Meanwhile, hospitals worldwide spend millions on oxygen supply chains.
What if we closed this loop? 🏥⚡
#OxygenfromHydrogen
Healthcare facilities account for roughly 5% of global CO₂ emissions. Within that footprint, steam generation represents one of the largest single contributors.
A typical 500-bed hospital might require 5,000 kWh per day just for domestic hot water and heating...
Hospitals run on steam. Autoclaves sterilise surgical instruments at 132°C. Laundries process thousands of kg of linens daily. All powered by fossil fuels. Hydrogen-CHP can decarbonise these critical loads while maintaining the 24/7 reliability healthcare demands. #NetZero
Here’s an important fact: Traditional hospital boilers hit 95% efficiency at best. H2-CHP systems? 80%+ overall efficiency producing both electricity AND thermal energy. Add heat pumps and you get 400% thermal multiplication. That’s how you retrofit smart. #HydrogenHeating
H2Heat decarbonises Canary Islands hospital with hydrogen.
An lectrolyser, 100% H2 CHP + heat pump, and smart control.
We are building a replicable model to cut costs and scale across the islands!
#Hydrogen#Healthcare#HorizonEurope
💰 Green hydrogen costs falling to €2-3/kg within 10 years
📉 70-80% electrolyser cost reduction expected
📈 3,000 tons CO2 savings by 2030
The economics of renewable heating are getting better every year!
⚠️ The EU building sector is 40%+ behind its decarbonization pathway
Current renovation rate: 1% annually
Needed renovation rate: 2% annually
We need breakthrough solutions NOW. Green hydrogen heating can bridge this gap! ⚡
