This paper explores the critical financial challenges in developing and financing hydrogen projects, particularly in the context of their role in achieving global decarbonisation goals. It examines the perspectives of key stakeholders – investors, banks, policymakers, project developers, and...

Global efforts to keep the rise in average temperatures within 1.5 degree Celsius are falling short. To achieve this goal, more extensive decarbonization measures are necessary across all sectors of the economy. Clean hydrogen is hydrogen that is produced using methods that result in limited or...

This paper analyzes decarbonization strategies for district heating and their carbon footprint based on two separate literature reviews. The first review evaluates 90 studies to identify and classify decarbonization strategies along the district heating supply chain using the Avoid-Shift-Improve...

Hydrogen offtake agreements are foundational to the development of the clean hydrogen economy. By securing long-term commitments, they enable capital-intensive projects and support market growth. While contracting activity remains at an early stage, the emergence of binding agreements signals...

This study introduces an integrated renewable-penetrated electric power and hydrogen energy system (IRPHS) framework to address the integration challenges of renewable energy sources (RESs) through the development of a hydrogen-based multi-carrier energy system. The IRPHS combines a...

Climate-neutral hydrogen is set to play a crucial role in decarbonizing Europe by 2050. Yet, assumptions on hydrogen imports vary widely across existing studies - ranging from fully flexible to fixed import volumes - often neglecting the modalities of future hydrogen trade such as long-term...

The transition from fossil fuels to carbon-neutral energy sources is necessary to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and combat climate change. Hydrogen (H2) provides a promising path to harness fossil fuels to reduce emissions in sectors such as transportation. However, regional economic...
