There is no way electricity and hydrogen can operate independently of each other, as 40GW of electrolysis is required in Europe, just by 2030
So why pretend electrolysis doesn't exist? BECAUSE IT IS AN ACTUAL THREAT to the 78% of the fossil energy system that Ember are trying to preserve!

He is very much an (ex-)lobbyist who used to work for RAP Online, and still references a lot of his work with this group who are blatant anti-hydrogen lobbyists

The only thing Michael Liebreich does is block any serious commitment to net zero, which is hydrogen
As long as people keep listening to him, investment will be slow, the status quo is maintained, and no serious threat to the fossil economy exists

25-35% of the EU energy system is switching to hydrogen, planned and implemented by TSOs, with major funding (a quarter of energy infrastructure funding)
You won't hear about this from Jan Rosenow because he is a lobbyist, maintaining the status quo

Electricity and gas TSOs: we need vast energy storage (for example the recent 2-week dunkelflaute/cold spell)
All data: hydrogen can be produced cheaply when infrastructure exists
Jan Rosenow: 0.1TWh of battery storage out of 120,000TWh of energy use in the EU is fine

🔥 - difficult to describe the energy transition as 'fast' when emissions are still rising
Let's be honest, Jan Rosenow is only battling against hydrogen because he knows batteries don't really work for the vast majority of industries
Batteries and heat pumps candy-coat a failed transition

I have provided quotes from 31 reports which basically say the same thing. The entire EU gas grid is switching to hydrogen and biomethane (66% hydrogen) by 2050, signed into law via the hydrogen and decarbonised gas market design package

The realistic answer to seasonal energy storage is hydrogen
Biogas and fuel cells present an immediate option that is scalable, via district heat networks. Even with the H2 storage being built in Britain, this is likely to be fed into gas turbines for electricity. So fuel cells make a lot of sense

There will only be 0.1 TWh of battery storage in Europe by 2030, out of a total energy demand of 10,400 TWh
Meanwhile the hydrogen infrastructure is being built, with electrolyser manufacturing for 660 TWh by 2030 complete
Jan Rosenow tries to block hydrogen - despite €240bn in planned funding

Globally, the figures don't add up. Even with sodium-ion, it's leaving a very substantial window open for business-as-usual. In my mind, hydrogen is the only thing that will replace shale

Batteries will never heat your house for the winter. The TSOs who plan, implement and deliver the energy we use in Europe have made the situation irrefutable, incontrovertible: hydrogen is replacing 25-35% of the energy system

With 1-2TWh of grid batteries by 2030 globally, 4 hours duration, and no high temperature (plus the massive cost of infrastructure) - it is batteries who are the rounding error

The EU are planning on replacing a quarter to a third of the energy system with hydrogen. Batteries are never going to even make a dent in the 10,000TWh of energy required in the EU
The plan is 660TWh of H2 in Europe by 2030; it will be a few years late, but Saudi Arabia will be supplying this H2

Battery storage is not going to replace fossil fuels in industry, seasonal energy storage, or beyond a few hours of grid balancing (with abundant daily sunshine)
Converting to hydrogen from $0.01-0.02/kWh PV is definitely going to make sense, once infrastructure, storage and other components exist

The total amount of grid-connected battery storage will be 1-2TWh - translating as 240-480TWh of dispatch - by 2030, globally.
This is out of a total primary energy demand of 160,000TWh, or 120,000TWh of actual consumption

CO2 storage is not a fiction. The infrastructure is being built at scale, is the only option for many heavy industries, and is far cheaper than other options; eg battery-powered industry which is a genuine fiction

Ember are only trying to block the shift to hydrogen in every sector (not even modelling electrolysis, which is needed to balance constrained grids), to continue the fossil fuel gravy train of revenue and subsidies to shareholders
