Early Business Cases Study By 2025, the European market for P2H is estimated at a cumulative 2.8 GW, representing a market value of 4.2 b Published on 23 rd June 2017 in Brussels, also available at FCH JU website. Visit www.fch.europa.eu
Study on Early Business Cases for Power to Hydrogen Key message: There are bankable business cases for PtoH in Europe already today By 2025, the European market for PtoH is estimated at a cumulative 2.8 GW, representing a market value of 4.2B and 400 ktons H2 per year. Bankability can be achieved by complementing hydrogen sales with electricity grid flexibility services Combining PtoH for mobility/industry applications and gas grid injection is more cost-effective than stand-alone injection Gas grid injection is a risk mitigation instrument until H2 demand picks up PtoH is a practical and system-beneficial way to value excess of RES but requires a long-term view on grid fees, taxes and levies to enable bankability
Project Certifhy: Guarantees of origin for green Hydrogen Developing consensus on a definition for Premium Hydrogen, including a definition for Green Hydrogen and (non-renewable) Low-carbon Hydrogen. Detailed proposal for the 1 st EU-wide Guarantee of Origin (GO) scheme Roadmap for implementation of the first GO scheme for Premium Hydrogen * Best Available Technology = Natural gas steam methane reforming >95% of H2 merchant market ** cfr RED reduction requirement for biofuels in 2018 16
Conclusions and outlook FCH JU has already invested 69M in electrolyser projects and will continue its support for this pathway of green hydrogen production. First demonstration projects seeing a strong appetite from H2 users. The goal is to continue research to further reduce costs and increase reliability in order to further differentiate viable business cases. Guarantees of origin will prove invaluable for providing an added value to green hydrogen and for the formation of policies that support it. The revision of the Renewable Energy Directive is a great opportunity for the creation of favourable policies for green H2.
