“So, today we sell electrolysers at the 10MW level at £800,000 per megawatt... we’ll be at £500,000/MW at the 100MW level in the next three years,” says Graham Cooley.

With recent hydrogen strategies unveiled by the EU, UK, Canada, Japan, South Korea and others, the global demand for green hydrogen will be in the tens of gigawatts this decade, he says, pointing out that EU and Chile are seeking 40GW and 25GW by 2030, respectively.

O regulador espanhol dos mercados e concorrência (CNMC) e o regulador francês da energia (CRE) rejeitaram a construção da interligação de gás natural entre Espanha e França, através dos Pirenéus, por considerarem não só que se trata de um projecto com encargos elevados e poucos benefícios para os consumidores dos dois países...

In effect, says Reichelstein, the integrated reversible systems can help solve two problems at the same time: how to get economic value from renewable electricity when it cannot fetch a good price; and how to smooth out volatility in electricity markets. And both of those solutions help reduce carbon emissions.

“In the context of the transition to renewable energy, people are sometimes afraid of having a higher share of intermittent renewables,” says Glenk. “That needn’t be the case if these reversible power-to-gas systems were deployed at a large scale.”

A new subsea pipeline, dubbed BarMar, will connect Barcelona to Marseille and transport green hydrogen as well as gas during the transition.

“We have reached an agreement to replace the MidCat project with a new project called the green energy corridor that will link the Iberian Peninsula to France and therefore to the European energy market,” Sanchez told reporters in Brussels as he arrived for an EU summit following a meeting with his Portuguese counterpart Antonio Costa and French President Emmanuel Macron.
