Achieving this vision puts the EU on a path to reducing about 560 MT of CO 2 emissions by 2050 – as much as half of the required abatements needed to achieve the 2°C scenario. www.arthydroprocessing.com Albemarle www.albemarle.com/catalyst Advanced Refining Technologies 10 Albemarle 2

led by France, Germany, Norway and Portugal. Daniel Hissel commented: “2020 was the year of hydrogen in Europe, thanks to the clear, practical commitments made at both national and EU levels. It sends a strong signal to industrial companies and the research community who are now looking at the potential of this energy source.” 37 Nonetheless there are challenges that must be addressed: Magma Catalysts www.magmacatalysts.com MERYT Catalysts & Innovation Laurance Reid Conference Lummus Technology NalcoWater uop.honeywell.com John Zink Hamworthy Combustion Johns n Matthey www.matthey.com Johnson Screens

Green hydrogen: major projects 17,24,27-34 Table 1 lists the major projects and alliances working on the production of green hydrogen by country, with the objectives of increasing electrolysis capacity and generation at low cost. Conclusion and future directions 35,36 Growth in hydrogen-based projects is being driven by a variety of factors: “From a technological view point, performance, costs and the lifetimes of hydrogen projects have been extended”. This technological progress has been accompanied by a new societal paradigm – “Concerns about societal and environmental issues are forcing us to take carbon out of the mobility equation and hydrogen is one way of doing that”. dmds.info Ametek Process Instruments Avantium Chemicals Ariel Corporation www.avantium.com/business-units/catalysis Axe s www.axe s.net BUCHEN-ICS www.buchen-ics.com/en Chevron Lummus Global www.chevronlummus.com Crystap se Products www.crystaphase.com

To support the development of hydrogen in the future energy mix, investments are being made by national governments and industrial companies alike. In September 2020, France announced a €7.2 billion plan to become a major player in the sector by 2030, joining countries like China and Japan which have also placed huge bets on hydrogen as an energy source, creating new competency hubs. Europe is also backing hydrogen in its decarbonisation strategy, with the take-up being 32 ARTC/Asian Downstream Summit 2021 72 Axens OBC BECHT 50 Burckhardt Compression AG 38 Chevron Lummus Global 7 China Petrochemical Technology 58 CS Combustion Solutions 97 Gastech 2021 82 Haldor Top oe 42 HCpect 15 hte 57 IPCO 64 ITWTechnologies 63 Evonik www.catalysts.evonik.com/en Haldor Topsoe www.topsoe.com HCpect www.hcpect.com

 Further scale-up is required to reduce the costs of low carbon hydrogen production (e.g. hundreds of megawatts to gigawatts). The long-term contractual agreements to de-risk large industrial or large-scale mobility deployment should be guaranteed early. www.meryt-chemical.com Process Consulting Services Neste Engineering Solutions www.revamps.com OHL Gutermuth Reactor Resources Neles

 The integration and evaluation of a multi- sector hydrogen supply chain in decarbonisation scenarios must be seen as part of a wider shift in global energy and an alternative for energy system designs.  Hydrogen transportation requires liquefaction, which is energy intensive. While the alternative of hydrogen conversion into other carriers, such as ammonia, methanol, or organic liquid hydrogen, is limited by the significant losses in yields, these may also be viable for some end uses, especially when integrated with carbon capture. www.reactor-resources.com Process C nsulting Services Refining India 2021 refiningindia.com ReZel Sabin Metal Corporation www.rezelcorp.com Sabin Metal Corporation www.sabinmetal.com Sulzer Limited Refcomm 2021 Rembe Shell Catalysts & Technologies
