Fraunhofer IEE, a German research institute for energy and energy system technologies, published a study, on Thursday 27 January, on the use, limitations and cost of hydrogen blending in the European gas grid at the transport and distribution level.
According to the study, a 5% blending target by 2030 would require about 50 TWh of renewable hydrogen. However, based on the EU target of 40 GW of renewable hydrogen electrolysers by 2030, the authors expect a generation of about 132 TWh.
