Hydrogen has shot up the European legislative agenda in recent years, with politicians of all stripes touting its potential to help countries meet their climate goals. The fuel comes in a variety of “colours”, depending on how it is produced, with almost all hydrogen currently created using fossil gas and termed “grey”.

San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) has filed a $3 billion plan for the years 2024-2027 towards its ongoing clean energy drive. Among proposals for the gas infrastructure is an acceleration of the replacement of ageing plastic natural gas pipelines to improve safety and reliability and reduce methane emissions.

Using hydrogen produced by green electricity in in fuel cells. Burning synthetic methane or biogas in existing gas plants. Capturing and sequestering CO 2 from existing gas plants. Meanwhile, Europe’s latest hydrogen strategy is calling for 6 gigawatts (GW) of electrolyzers by 2024 , scaling to 40 GW by 2030.

At the very least, utilities will need plans that can get them most of the way there, while rushing ahead with next-generation technologies: long-duration energy storage, small modular nuclear reactors or green hydrogen and methane to fuel natural gas peaker plants. Here's a look at the five largest U.S. Duke Energy.

Summary - Over 20% of all Dutch emissions are coming from the Port of Rotterdam, of which the production of grey hydrogen from fossil feedstock is one of the main culprits. This explores what is needed to build a green hydrogen refinery. About 400,000 metric tonnes of grey hydrogen is used each year in Rotterdam.

And because we can’t help ourselves, we then attempted to extrapolate the straight line between these divergent views of what’s to come for climate tech in 2024. Andrew Beebe , Obvious Ventures : Yes, 2024 will beat both 2023 and 2022. Potentially a fair number will go under in 2024, again as a lagging indicator.
