Can European wind and solar power be used to produce hydrogen?
The growth of European wind and solar power capacity is associated with increasing electricity curtailment to manage excess generation and ensure safe network operations. Instead, this surplus electricity could be used to produce hydrogen, thereby reducing the need for fossil-fueled hydrogen production in ammonia and refining industries.
Is shell building a hydrogen plant in the Netherlands?
Shell is currently building one of Europe’s largest renewable hydrogen plants called Holland Hydrogen 1 in the Netherlands. Once operational in the second half of this decade, the 200-megawatt plant will produce up to 80 tons of hydrogen per day. The plant will be powered by offshore wind from the North Sea.

Can Underground hydrogen storage support European energy system decarbonisation?
In this context, underground hydrogen storage (UHS) can support European energy system decarbonisation and facilitate the deve-lopment of a clean hydrogen ecosystem, enabling a fully integrated system. Various reports already highlight the need for up to 100 TWh of UHS ca-pacity as early as . city system.
How important is underground gas storage to the European hydrogen system?
30 Gas Infrastructure Europe (). Picturing the value of underground gas storage to the European hydrogen system There is a large gap between planned hydrogen storage projects and needed storage volumes for the benefit of the EU energy system. In , this gap is predicted to measure 36 TWh.
How many pure-Hy-Drogen storage projects are there in Europe?
34 To be published by Gas Infrastructure Europe (). Between and , the Hydrogen Infrastructure Map indicates around 10 pure-hy-drogen storage projects, of which some are more advanced and expected to become utilised to store hydrogen in the early 2030s. This totals 22.1 TWh of pure-hydrogen storage UHS projects.
