Organized by our partner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lhyfe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lhyfe<\/a>, the webinar welcomed speakers from leading industrial projects, hydrogen associations and technology developers, who shared practical experience from large-scale hydrogen deployment in the steel, chemical and refining sectors.<\/p>\n<h2>Industrial hydrogen moves from demonstration to deployment<\/h2>\n<p>The session traced the <strong>full development cycle of industrial hydrogen projects<\/strong>, from renewable hydrogen production and its integration into existing industrial facilities to the economics, regulatory frameworks, market development and infrastructure that shape deployment. Speakers agreed that <strong>large-scale industrial hydrogen projects are progressing across Europe, particularly in steel, chemicals and refining<\/strong>, proof that the technology is ready for industrial deployment, even as it continues to face significant economic challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Participants noted that <strong>project competitiveness depends above all on access to affordable renewable electricity<\/strong>, though supportive regulation, grid access, available infrastructure and long-term off-take agreements all play a part too. <strong>Refineries, chemicals and green steel emerged as the most promising early markets<\/strong> for renewable hydrogen, driven by decarbonisation targets, regulatory requirements and rising demand for low-carbon products.<\/p>\n<h2>Case studies: green steel in Sweden, renewable hydrogen to replace grey hydrogen in a refinery in Spain<\/h2>\n<p>Two projects illustrated how this competitiveness picture, affordable electricity, supportive regulation and strong early demand, plays out on the ground.<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/stegra.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stegra<\/a>\u2019s Boden Green Steel Project (Sweden)<\/strong>: presented by Gotzon Gomez Sarasola, Head of Spain and Portugal Project at Stegra, as Europe\u2019s most advanced hydrogen-based steel project. It combines a 740 MW electrolyser with direct reduced iron (DRI) production and electric arc furnace steelmaking, and is expected to produce around 100,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year and 2.5 million tonnes of green steel annually, cutting CO\u2082 emissions by up to 95% compared with conventional steel production.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.repsol.com\/en\/index.cshtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Repsol<\/a>\u2019s Cartagena Hydrogen Project (Spain)<\/strong>: presented by Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Gimeno Cort\u00e9s, Head of Sustainability and Regulatory Optimisation for Repsol\u2019s Hydrogen Division, this 100 MW electrolyser project will produce around 15,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year to replace conventional hydrogen (or grey hydrogen) for refinery operations, cutting emissions by an estimated 165,000 tonnes of CO\u2082 annually, the lifecycle carbon intensity of RFNBO hydrogen being at least ten times lower than that of grey hydrogen. It also features an adiabatic cooling system that reduces water consumption by 95%, making it particularly suited to water-scarce regions.<\/p>\n<p>These cases were complemented by contributions from Marton Antal (Hydrogen Europe), Johannes Kr\u00e4mer (BASF), Diego Crespo Menc\u00eda (Moeve) and Brais Armi\u00f1o Franco (digHy), who broadened the discussion to the wider European policy, market and technology landscape for industrial hydrogen.<\/p>\n<h2>Beyond the technology: economics and regulation as the next hurdle<\/h2>\n<p>Speakers openly acknowledged that the <strong>main barriers to scale-up are no longer technological but economic and regulatory<\/strong>. Stable policy implementation, market incentives, hydrogen infrastructure development and effective collaboration within Hydrogen Valley ecosystems were all identified as needed to move from individual flagship projects to a competitive European hydrogen economy. EU regulation, funding mechanisms, grid integration and flexibility services were discussed as key levers to support this transition.<\/p>\n<p>Renewable hydrogen projects are now entering the industrial deployment phase, with refineries and green steel the most promising early markets, participants agreed. Sustained growth will depend on greater regulatory certainty, expanded infrastructure, grid integration solutions and continued collaboration through Hydrogen Valley ecosystems such as CyLH2 Valley.<\/p>\n<h2>Keep updated<\/h2>\n<p>This fifth Learning Capsule confirmed that industrial deployment is now a central and pressing question for the hydrogen sector, and one the CyLH2 Valley community will keep exploring.<\/p>\n<p>The CyLH2 Valley will continue the Learning Capsules series in the coming months, giving partners further opportunities to exchange knowledge and accelerate the deployment of hydrogen solutions across the region.<br \/>\nStay updated via our website and follow the project\u2019s social media channels!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photo credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/it\/@adgap?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ADIGUN AMPA<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/it\/foto\/fabbrica-grigia-e-nera-sotto-il-cielo-blu-durante-il-giorno-9U0vAXekzgU?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fifth Learning Capsule brought project developers together to discuss how renewable hydrogen is scaling up in steel, chemicals and refining, and what still stands in the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":909,"template":"","news_category":[25],"class_list":["post-908","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news_category-news-release"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
