It's not a battle. Certainly not in a Star Wars way. Why not try good 'ole ChatGPT and see what their figures are, for example, in the EU27 in 2050?

And very sensibly, ChatGPT also mentions how hydrogen does not replace electricity, it complements it

EU lines up 100 hydrogen pipeline, storage and electrolyser projects for multi-billion-euro pot of funding The new list of projects of common or mutual interest will still need to be approved by the European Parliament and the Council of the EU

It's already happening: 100 projects worth €80 billion fast-tracked on the latest PCI/PMI list

Never heard of him.

As for me, being anti green H2 in 2026 is tantamount to claiming back in 1886 when Karl Benz gave his first public spin of his petrol-powered automobile that petroleum is too precious to be squandered in internal combustion engines and should be reserved to petrol lamps

Absolutely.

About a quarter of Asia-Pacific's emissions can only be decarbonised by hydrogen and its derivatives and CCS: DNV A yearly supply of 84 million tonnes of H2 is needed for the region to reach net zero in 2050

It's interesting that Michael Liebreich is so completely disconnected from what he is doing

He lobbies against hydrogen, despite 10 years of EU policy, and now €240bn in planned finance

But Mr Liebreich wishes to block this progress, pretending batteries etc will easily replace fossil fuels?

Interesting that steel, copper, aluminium, glass, ceramics - even tissue paper - are all planning on shifting to hydrogen

Again, very much appears Jan Rosenow is desperately lobbying against hydrogen, and therefore any kind of realistic energy transition

The costs are extremely clear, and locked in for the duration of the project

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’

The EU strategy for hydrogen is 660 TWh of (mostly) green hydrogen by 2030. This is very ambitious, but the funding, electrolyser production capacity are all there, and the infrastructure is being built

Eventually, the goal is about one quarter to one third of the EU energy system

Just made-up waffle, not real money etc (€80 billion in most recent PCI/PMI list)

There will be 0.8TWh of grid connected battery storage by 2030 in Europe

It must be recharged daily by VRE to be of use beyond minor grid balancing; not at all guaranteed in Europe as the recent dunkelflaute proves

Jan Rosenow's anti-hydrogen bullshit gets more and more extravagant as he continues

They just won't have any actual effect on total energy use

Whatever you like, but it's hydrogen for 25-35% of the energy system - planned, funded and being built

€240 billion in funding is no joke

The world uses 160,000 TWh a year of primary energy. So we are now at 0.1 TWh of batteries in total. Even at speed of 5x as much batteries each year, batteries are not going make any significant difference to the global energy system

Jan Rosenow is just an anti-hydrogen lobbyist, blocking net zero

WindEurope? Yes, we need a lot of hydrogen

Etc etc

It's going to get difficult to forget about hydrogen, when 25-35% of the energy system is being replaced..
