NEW HORIZONS FOR HYDROGEN TRADE: TRANSPORTING CLEAN ENERGY OVERSEAS
Cross-border trade needs a common language. The absence of harmonised standards and certification systems for assessing and evidencing hydrogen’s sustainability attributes is an unnecessary barrier to investment. By eliminating inconsistent rules and methods to determine hydrogen’s carbon footprint, countries can provide certainty to buyers about hydrogen’s origin, offer more clarity on hydrogen’s contribution to decarbonisation goals, and reduce administrative costs. To illustrate, in Japan, such a reduction of the administrative burden on hydrogen import from Australia could generate up to $2bn of savings in 20307.
Renewable hydrogen costs “expected to plummet” by 2030 – here’s how
“Although expensive today, green hydrogen costs are expected to plummet 75 per cent by 2030, as the price of electrolysers rapidly declines. Chinese companies already sell electrolysers at one-quarter the price of their western peers,” BloombergNEF says.

Denmark: Broad billion deal puts turbo on new green fuels
With the agreement, Denmark will aim to build an electrolysis capacity of 4 - 6 GW by 2030. With a target of up to 6 GW, Denmark is in the top 3 among the European countries. High ambitions for green fuels are crucial for phasing out fossil energy, reducing climate pressures, supporting green growth and loosening Russia's grip on Europe's energy supply.
The agreement consists of a subsidy scheme of DKK 1.25 billion. in the form of a government tender for hydrogen production, better framework conditions for producers and builds on a number of business promotion measures and pools. This means that the government as a whole has prioritized at least DKK 3 billion. DKK to PtX since 2019.

Honda to Install Stationary Fuel Cell Power Station on California Campus as First Step Toward Commercialization of Zero-Emission Backup Power Generation
While Honda remains committed to developing fuel cell systems for passenger vehicles, the market for fuel cell systems to power larger trucks and transport ships, as well as stationary generation, is expanding rapidly in the U.S. and is expected to grow to over $86.7 billion annually by 2030. Data centers in particular require high-quality and reliable power, where any disruption in power supply can lead to downtime or problems such as data corruption and damage to servers.
