Under growing pressure from the UK’s 2050 Net Zero target, we are beginning to see the release of industry strategies detailing pathways to zero emissions. Among these is the Oil and Gas Authority’s (OGAs) UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) strategy. It surrounds the idea that UKCS oil and gas will remain an “important part” of the UKs energy mix for the foreseeable future. However, with National Grid’s Future Energy Scenarios (FES) forecasting that UKCS sources decline under scenarios, and are exhausted before 2050 under all scenarios except Steady Progress, it is important for the OGA to remain quick to the draw in Net Zero measures.

Furthering clarity and capacity: The UK increase low-carbon hydrogen commitments
In this third instalment of our Low-carbon Hydrogen Index, which tracks the progress of 14 nations in their commitment to develop a low-carbon hydrogen economy, we discuss the top countries in the index. See how the rankings have changed since we last released our Low-carbon Hydrogen Index in March 2022.

Australia’s hydrogen success is tied to energy market policies
According to South Australia’s Hydrogen Power Plant study, the global demand for hydrogen is projected to reach 650 megatons in 2050, with a potential export market of $300b per year. In this market, Australia is well placed for renewable hydrogen production with a considerable penetration of variable renewable energy (VRE)....

Lean, clean, electrolysing machines – how clean is Australia’s hydrogen future?
The Clean Energy Regulator is currently exploring how to define ‘low-emissions’ hydrogen production through a Guarantee of Origin (GO) scheme for Australia. Such a scheme could set a threshold level for carbon emissions from the production process in order to classify it as being ‘clean’, similar to schemes in operation...

“Each day looking for new ways to go on”: could a renewable capacity market assist hydrogen turbines?
The rise of renewables has seen the need for additional firming capacity in order to smooth renewable output and replace coal capacity in the evening peak. The ESB and federal Ministers are currently in discussions regarding the development (or not) of a capacity market for the NEM. Interestingly from the...

Do batteries add viability to electrolysers within the current market?
Last month, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) announced that there will be a gas shortfall in the east coast market in 2023, not a surprise considering the international gas crisis and high gas prices in Australia. Such events have increased attention towards expanding gas supply or reducing the...

Hydrogen hype: How cheap the hydrogen from electrolysis can be?
Hydrogen is considered a potential replacement for fossil fuels for energy generation, transport etc. Currently, 96% of hydrogen production originates from fossil fuels through steam reforming and coal gasifications. Only a small fraction (~4%) is produced via electrolysis. The high Capex of the electrolyser is usually referred to as the...

Industrial hydrogen demand predicted to grow to 37TWh by 2050
This week’s ‘Chart of the week’ looks at recent research from Cornwall Insight’s insight paper - Industrial decarbonisation key for UK low carbon hydrogen – which shows demand for hydrogen by the industrial sector is predicted to grow significantly. In fact, Cornwall Insight research shows that by 2030 UK industry...

Australian Chart of the week | Green hydrogen costs plummet, LNG prices soar
The ACCC currently calculates the LNG netback price as the price a gas exporter could receive for gas exports excluding the costs to convert and ship the gas. Asian cold weather and supply bottlenecks have driven the February LNG netback price to nearly $20 a gigajoule, more than double the...
