Hydrogen investment to 2050

South Africa: $150 billion
Chile: $330 billion
Colombia: $244 billion
Europe (to 2040): $240 billion

Pipelines are being built for hydrogen imports to Europe

60% of the lifecycle emissions of an electric car are from its construction and manufacturing

Steel, copper, aluminium, glass, ceramics - even tissue paper - are all shifting to hydrogen. In China, hydrogen metallurgy is now well established

And then the EU gas grid is also converting to hydrogen

Some numbers for you (hydrogen investment to 2050)

South Africa: $150 billion
Chile: $330 billion
Colombia: $244 billion
Europe (to 2040): $240 billion

The pipelines are all being built for hydrogen imports to Europe (plus storage and everything else)

Germany adopts law to rump up Hydrogen production Berlin, 28 February 2026, dtt-net.com – The Parliament of Germany on Thursday on the proposal of the federal government adopted a new law aiming to ease legal procedures for acceleration and increase ...

"CBAM’s impact is already being felt outside the 27-nation EU. In December, analyst Jian Wu cited the European tariffs as a major force behind China’s ​'thriving' hydrogen-fired metallurgy this year." www.canarymedia.com/articles/emi...

He's just a cokehead mafia boss, trying to rip Europe off to the maximum extent possible

Intentionally blocking pipelines to Hungary which then induce a fuel crisis in eastern European states, while asking to join the EU

He's a scumbag cokehead, from one of the most corrupt countries in the world.. who are now blocking an oil pipeline to cause a fuel crisis in Hungary, Slovakia etc..

Too many lobby groups are either unaware of this or are distracting people from this emerging reality

New EU grids package pushes for €240bn of investment in hydrogen networks — and fully integrates H₂ into bloc’s energy system planning Two vast hydrogen pipelines have been included in the bloc’s list of eight priority ‘Energy Highways’

No mention of hydrogen however, despite €240bn in planned funding to 2040

25-35% of the EU energy system must switch to hydrogen by 2050, and the all the components are in place to achieve this; infrastructure investment, electrolyser manufacturing capacity etc

Hydrogen Reality Check: Distilling Green Hydrogen’s Water Consumption - RMI The Myth: Scaling green hydrogen will severely impact global freshwater supply because it uses far more water than other hydrogen or equivalent energy production processes. The Reality: The additional...

There are no land or water constraints for green hydrogen production. These arguments have been thoroughly, repeatedly debunked

Desalination is cheap

Spain has a lot of competition with North Africa and the Middle East (via SoutH2 and H2Med). And now also Finland, who want to supply 1 mtpa via the Nordic-Baltic hydrogen corridor

The global renewable resource is not limited, though? I suppose it depends on the cost of solar in Spain. But certainly, the TSOs have stated very strongly; 25-35% of the energy system must switch to hydrogen by 2050. Electrification is not the whole picture..

In my opinion, the point is that without infrastructure, it will continue to be unviable. €240bn in infrastructure investment will change that. You cannot produce hydrogen if you cannot yet deliver it to customers

Tim Harper represents the single best repository of why hydrogen policy has failed in the UK, and what to do about it. I would add the addition that he is fundamentally commercially minded, but this industry is not going away anywhere

UK Hydrogen Infrastructure: Why Deployment Failed and What Works Why hydrogen infrastructure in the UK has stalled, what HyHAUL reveals about policy failure, and how viable refuelling networks are actually built.

If you want background, Tim Harper has some goods

The transition from fossil energy is going to be unpalatable, to shareholders. We need to accept this

Good call, Dale. Nominative determinism. Still, it's #hydrogem

The aim of the paper: block progress and maintain shareholder revenue

Bullshit

Awesome. It's basically a one-way ticket going directly opposite of where we should be going: simplifying a complex system rather than making a complex system even less comprehensible

'Energy system modelers' are a curse

Respect to David Barmes though, genuinely lucid understanding of events from previous studies

I'm not sure if "revives concerns" really hits the mark here. We are heading to 20% global GDP loss in a few decades, and this is just the start. The rich are divorced from reality, living in their own paid-for echo chamber regarding media coverage of the crisis that will unfold

Georg Zachmann is Golgotha. Don't fuck around, and you know it

I'll tell you what it says: we have a group of individuals blocking hydrogen with no real purpose or motive, only to cause trouble and harm to communities

Doug, if data centres can be fast-tracked for 50GW of power capacity, what does that say about the #RFNBO regulations?

Guess who is replacing FoE

Damn, that comma was badly placed, following Merz' stance on the subject. Your guilt just doesn't exist, does it
