Unveiling the power of Hydrogen in Europe: It’s time to execute

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:28:33 GMT

To achieve a 55% reduction in emissions by 2030, the share of electricity in final energy consumption must increase from 23% today to approximately 35% within the next six years. In addition to direct electrification, the adoption of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen is imperative for decarbonizing hard-to-abate industrial and transportation sectors. However, only a few projects have reached the final investment decision since the 2020 EU Hydrogen strategy. It is imperative to kickstart the first hydrogen production projects promptly. Achieving this requires a streamlined EU regulatory framework and expedited procedures for support schemes.Christelle Rouillé, CEO of Hynamics | via EDF/HynamicsHydrogen Week in Brussels, which took place at the end of November, showcased this chemical’s pivotal role in decarbonizing industries and reshaping heavy mobility. Amid discussions on renewable and low carbon hydrogen, challenges emerged, with slow regulatory implementation hindering projects....

Climate contradictions key at UN talks. Less future warming projected, yet there’s more current pain

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:28:33 GMT

The world is heading for considerably less warming than projected a decade ago, but that good news is overwhelmed by much more pain from current climate change than scientists anticipated, experts said.That’s just one of a set of seemingly contradictory conditions facing climate negotiators who this week gather in Dubai for marathon United Nations talks that include a first-ever assessment of how well the world is doing in its battle against global warming. It’s also a conference where one of the central topics will be whether fossil fuels should be phased out, but it will be run by the CEO of an oil company.Key to the session is the first “global stocktake” on climate, when countries look at what’s happened since the 2015 Paris climate agreement, how off-track it is and probably say what’s needed to get back on track.
