Green hydrogen demand in Europe seen as a 100 GW opportunity

WHEC 2022

The conference news feed carried an item on green hydrogen demand in Europe, described as a 100 GW opportunity for renewables. The report cited transmission system operator bodies and the clean energy that would need to reach electrolysers by 2050.

The numbers are a reminder that hydrogen is not an alternative to renewable electricity; it is a way to use and store it. The opportunity for renewables depends on building both generation and conversion capacity.
