In fact, the reverse is true, and often by a large margin: globally, government subsidies for fossil fuels are tagged at more than $440bn per year, according to IEA (International Energy Agency) estimates. It may seem paradoxical, but renewables only see a fractional 20 per cent of the subsidies paid to the energy sector.

It would require roughly 2GW of energy to replace this fully with green hydrogen, which is half the proposed IJmuiden Ver windfarm. If we are to transition this massive piece of 20st century legacy engineering, the most important aspect is to find a new feedstock for the 100 million tonnes of crude oil import in Rotterdam.

Transforming this fossil feedstock and the industry behind it requires an immense amount of green hydrogen, in the very least 2GW of renewable energy coming from a windfarm like IJmuiden Ver. It would require roughly 2GW of energy to replace this fully with green hydrogen, which is half the proposed IJmuiden Ver windfarm.
