I can see immediately the figures presented in the graphic above are wrong by an order of magnitude. It is blatant misinformation

'Academic' studies - case in point
In case you had any doubt that peer review doesn't work in pay-to-publish journals, including those with a Nature badge....

Nature’s latest AI-generated paper — with medical frymblal and Factor Fexcectorn
Nature’s open-access sideline Nature Scientific Reports is the “we’ve got Nature at home” of scientific publishing. It appears to run any garbage for a mere $2,690 processing charge. A snip, I’m su…

Blocking #carbonpricing, #hydrogen, #CCS and #CDR/#NBS is the epitomy of climate obstructionism
Lapping up praise and looking for glory when you are doing everything you possibly can to undermine any effective strategy is not cynicism, it's cowardice and evil

By the way, I can see immediately your figures are 'just slightly' off the mark.. China already have 10 mt/year under construction, and the EU plan for 2030 is 20 mtpa..

Shareholder-funded 'academic' studies (the peer-review process, ha ha) to block hydrogen on a purely ideological basis are a cynical affront to what is occurring, globally - the shift from hydrocarbons to hydrogen

As soon as Trump is gone, those 7 industry hubs will start again and the US can continue the drive to get off shale. Battery-Powered Everything™ is a false promise that hollows out the industrial base and speeds climate-related decline
Still optimistic about the industry in the US post-Trump

Totally. Vital to talk about this. The IRA is landmark policy
The IRA *was* the Marshall plan that was needed to be implemented to get hydrogen to the level it needs to be in the US to decarbonise a range of sectors. It was, basically, perfect considering various cost/logistics constraints.. and was/is to an extent being replicated in the EU to speed things up

The data show that hydrogen is being sidelined within the policy framework, and for industry, using the ETS1/ETS2 Innovation Fund facility, significant room to progress exists

Absolutely. Hydrogen is the second wing on the decarbonisation plane
You are forgetting line pipes as storage, however. On-demand, long duration, high temperature requirements for industry preclude batteries
The issue today is subsidy provision, and CfDs + quotas to ensure commercial viability..

A carbon price of €80-100/ton makes green hydrogen very affordable if policies are aligned
With a carbon price of $80-100/ton CO2 (California and Europe, many other countries also) the price of grey hydrogen jumps from $1.50-2.00/kg to $3.50-4.00/kg
Electric Hydrogen plan to get the price down to <$3.00/kg within a few years. This competes with most fossil fuels

Much more focus needs to go to hydrogen. Batteries etc do not represent a realistic or viable answer for many industries (on-demand, long duration, high temperature etc), and without hydrogen decarbonisation is impossible..

The ETS goes directly into the Innovation Fund. Because consumers already pay for the price of carbon, distributing this money back to industries makes sense
For #hydrogen, this has been especially relevant, as most industries cannot electrify and thus H2 subsidies at the initial stages are vital

I'm sorry, but adding your name to a list of shareholder-funded 'CSOs' to block the import of green hydrogen from the Middle East / North Africa is either complete incompetency, corruption, or both
