Northwest European Hydrogen Monitor 2024
…half of Europe’s total hydrogen demand, and it has vast and untapped renewable energy and carbon storage potential in the North Sea. It also has a well-developed, interconnected gas network which could be partially repurposed to facilitate the transmission and distribution of low-emissions hydrogen from production sites to demand centres.The development of low-emissions hydrogen in Northwest Europe could gradually scale up in the short- to medium-term. Northwest European countries now have the ambition to develop up to 30 to 40 gigawatts (GW) of electrolyser capacity by 2030. However, most low-emissions hydrogen projects are…

Developing Capacity for Long-Term Energy Policy Planning: A Roadmap
…input data to depict the current situation of the energy sector. Thus, the development of energy modelling capabilities should be complemented by improvements in the collection, validation and analysis of national energy statistics.This report builds on IEA analysis of long-term energy policy planning, and further explores the capacity required at the national level for the different work areas. It equally targets countries in the early stages of developing long-term energy plans and those with more established structures seeking to further develop a specific area or sector. It also includes a self-assessment framework to identify key areas…
