Belgium aiming to be a leader in the green hydrogen mission of the EU; challenges still persist despite significant progress.
Here’s the article posted in The Parliament for your reference about Belgium’s dominance in the Green Hydrogen Revolution.
According to the article,
- EU aims to produce 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen to kickstart the market.
- Importing green hydrogen is a priority to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
- The EU is committed to supporting renewable (green) hydrogen over gas-derived (blue) hydrogen.
- Green hydrogen production costs in Europe range from €3 to €8/kg.
Belgium’s hydrogen infrastructure plays a pivotal role in advancing green hydrogen adoption. Here are the key aspects:
- Hydrogen Pipelines:
- Belgium boasts an extensive underground hydrogen pipeline network, second only to the United States.
- These pipelines transport hydrogen across the country, connecting production centers to end-users.
- The network facilitates efficient distribution and utilization of green hydrogen.
- Government Support and Cross-Border Connections:
- Belgium invests in expanding its hydrogen infrastructure.
- Plans include linking Belgian pipelines to Germany’s network for seamless cross-border transport.
