Global Scans · Hydrogen · Weekly Summary

• [New] California is one of seven hydrogen hubs in the US, public-private partnerships that will receive billions of dollars in subsidies from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act for developing hydrogen technologies. MIT Technology Review
• [New] In order to create a sustainable energy mix, MUFG will provide strong support not only for renewable energy but also for the implementation of innovative technologies such as hydrogen / next-generation energy and carbon recycling. The Asian Banker
• [New] In an effort to meet its emission goals, the EU plans to invest heavily in hydrogen production by 2050, while the United States has also pledged significant funding for clean hydrogen projects. EITEP Institute
• [New] Strategic locations along Mexico's borders could become hubs for clean hydrogen production, attracting electrolysis, storage, and transportation businesses. Vista Projects
• [New] Ontario will assess potential barriers to the use of hydrogen as a fuel for electricity generation and the inclusion of low-carbon hydrogen and renewable natural gas in Ontario's natural gas distribution system, while ensuring appropriate standards and best practices are in place. Ontario.ca
• [New] Ontario will share technical information, including from research studies, with industry to support the production and use of low-carbon hydrogen in industrial sectors when and where it makes sense as the best pathway to meeting their decarbonization goals. Ontario.ca
• [New] The Ministry of Energy will ask the IESO IESO to report back on potential program options to support hydrogen electricity storage and grid integration pilot projects as Ontario's electricity system continues to evolve. Ontario.ca
• [New] Other regions have potential as low-carbon hydrogen hubs and Ontario has engaged in preliminary research to evaluate potential opportunities, along with the federal government's Hydrogen Strategy, which is also looking to identify potential hubs for Canada. Ontario.ca
• [New] Working together with Ontario businesses and industrial partners, the federal government, municipalities, Indigenous communities, academic institutions and other key stakeholders, we are going to connect Ontario with global markets to develop an economically sustainable low-carbon hydrogen sector. Ontario.ca
• [New] Ontario now has competitive electricity rates for large electricity consumers through a number of programs that could benefit hydrogen producers, particularly by using off-peak electricity. Ontario.ca
• The following month, Next Hydrogen unveiled a MoU with GE Vernova's Power Conversion business that envisages the integration of its electrolysis technology with GE Vernova's power systems offerings to produce green hydrogen. Renewablesnow.com
• The opportunity to produce Green Hydrogen through renewable electrolysis of water is emerging throughout Australia as we develop and increase renewable energy capacity (predominantly via solar and wind). Hfw
• PEM50 will use the locally made Proton Exchange Membrane electrolysers with approval to produce green hydrogen for local and export markets. Energy Magazine
• Green hydrogen has the potential to reduce GHG emissions in multiple sectors in Atlantic Canada and as a flexible energy carrier it can allow for deep decarbonization scenarios. EverWind Fuels
• Working together with Ontario businesses and workers, the federal government, municipalities, Indigenous communities, academic institutions, and other key stakeholders, we are going to connect Ontario with global markets to develop an economically sustainable low-carbon hydrogen sector. Ontario.ca
• Bruce Power will explore opportunities to leverage excess energy from the Bruce station (i.e. i.e., energy that is not currently being transmitted to the electricity system) for hydrogen production. Ontario.ca
• Ontario is promoting its existing low-carbon hydrogen strengths, needs and opportunities to the federal government to leverage potential resources. Ontario.ca
• Ontario will continue to work with the federal government as well as with other provinces and territories to collectively advance the hydrogen economy across Canada. Ontario.ca
• Ontario has many advantages that will help advance a globally competitive low-carbon hydrogen economy for consumers in Canada and around the world. Ontario.ca
• Clean Biofuel Resources: Ontario's rich forest, agricultural and municipal biomass resources could be used to create low-carbon hydrogen or other renewable fuels. Ontario.ca
• Africa is facing more severe effects from climate change than much of the rest of the world; coastal floods could impact energy infrastructure, while water stress may threaten the main input needed to produce green hydrogen, even though it uses less water than other forms of hydrogen production. Lombard Odier
• Paris hopes that USD 9.8 billion of investment will help make it the go-to destination for the electrolysers used to produce hydrogen. Lombard Odier
