Get started despite uncertainties – cornerstones of an adaptable hydrogen strategy

Green hydrogen and e-fuels are undoubtedly necessary for Germany’s path towards climate neutrality in 2045. However, unlike renewable electricity from wind and solar, we have not yet made any practical use of these energy sources. Therefore, the debate is ...

Dossier: Cornerstones of an Adaptable Hydrogen Strategy — Summary

Green hydrogen and e-fuels are undoubtedly necessary for Germany's course toward climate neutrality in 2045. Unlike renewable electricity from wind and sun, however, we have not yet made any practical use of these energy sources. In the debate, therefore, ...

More new fossil gas heating systems, only tentative progress: energy transition update

Reduced fossil fuel consumption due to the energy crisis, tentative positive signs in the expansion of renewable energy capacities, electric cars and heat pumps – but not fast enough, according to new figures from the Ariadne Transformation Tracker. Moreover, ...

Analysis: Low carbon hydrogen in the European Union – A coherent regulatory framework

Renewable hydrogen is necessary for the decarbonization of sectors that are difficult to electrify, such as industry and aviation, and as a storage medium for surplus electricity from renewable sources. In this context, the following analysis of the EU ...

Low Carbon Hydrogen: strategic approach missing in EU’s regulatory framework, but crucial to ensure climate protection

The use of low carbon hydrogen based on non-renewable sources is considered as a transitional solution for the market ramp-up of renewable hydrogen. A new Ariadne paper shows that a strategic approach clarifying the role of non-renewable low carbon ...

Ariadne-Analysis: Hydrogen in the Reformed EU ETS – Implications for Competitiveness and Emissions Reductions

The use of renewable hydrogen is considered an important element for the decarbonization of sectors that are hard to electrify, such as the steel and chemical industry or aviation (European Commission 2020, Ferrario et al. 2022). However, the volume ...

Europe must provide even better incentives for renewable hydrogen

Ariadne researchers have analysed the EU framework for the ramp-up of hydrogen. This energy carrier, produced with electricity from renewable sources, is intended to decarbonise sectors that are difficult to electrify, such as the chemical and steel industries.
