Hydrogen In MWh In EU & Renewables In Btu In USA Distort Energy Transition Discussions
. Hydrotreating of biofuels is a identical to hydrotreating of crude oil today, but the big demand draws of desulfurization and hydrocracking won’t be present, so combined with much lower volumes of liquid fuels, it’s just not going to be a big consumption area. Green steel under the HYBRIT model uses 59 kilograms of hydrogen per ton of steel, but we’ll be turning more and more to scrapping existing steel, especially the massive amounts in fossil fuel infrastructure globally to supply new steel.
It’s confusing. It takes about 60 MWh to manufacture a ton of hydrogen with the electrolyzer and balance of plant draws. But that ton of hydrogen isn’t equal to 60 MWh of electricity by any stretch of the imagination. First off, the 60 MWh used to manufacture, compress, store, and distribute hydrogen is perhaps 70% efficient. The 60 MWh is already only 42 MWh.
As I noted in my assessment of DNV’s report, even with their incredibly optimistic numbers for green hydrogen from any source, the end cost of energy would be ten times higher than imported liquid natural gas , the most expensive form of imported energy regularly used today, not that DNV makes that comparison anywhere in their report. Making energy ten times more expensive is a recipe for economic disaster, and so will fall by the wayside.
recently. The index is a good idea, gathering commercial deal data, normalizing and aggregating it. But it’s stuck in this hydrogen-for-energy paradigm.So yes, despite hydrogen not being used for energy today, Europe is framing everything about hydrogen today in terms of the electricity required to manufacture green hydrogen, as if that is a unit of available energy. They are explicitly making a comparison to the way that Europe measures natural gas, also in MWh.

Rio gets ARENA support for Yarwun hydrogen plansThe Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has announced a A$32.1-million grant for Rio Tinto and Sumitomo Corporation to trial hydrogen calcination technology at the Yarwun alumina refinery in Gladstone, Queensland. The A$111.1-million Yarwun hydrogen calcination pilot demonstration programme will be the first-of-its-kind deployment of hydrogen calcination in the world. The project is intended to reduce emissions in alumina refining, which currently contributes roughly 3% of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions.
