Hydrogen Partnerships Advance Europe's Energy Transition and Industrial Decarbonization
The latest in this situation
- A Grenoble-based company, Mantle8, is advocating for a natural hydrogen exploration program in Europe.
- The European TRIERES hydrogen project, involving the Employers and Industrialists Federation, is hosting its annual consortium meeting and co-funding the initiative through the Clean Hydrogen Partnership.
How it started
What happened
A partnership was established to support the energy transition in Europe, with various companies pursuing hydrogen solutions for industrial use. Separately, a technical review found that a geothermal-integrated hydrogen production platform could achieve a Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) of approximately US$1.75/kg H2 under best-case scenarios. This technology is noted as central to achieving cost-competitive synthetic aviation fuel.

Why it matters
The transition requires hydrogen to move beyond an abstract energy concept and function as a concrete industrial molecule in processes like refining and manufacturing. For sectors such as the German glass industry, decarbonization by 2045 is technically feasible but requires a combination of electrification, green hydrogen, and hybrid solutions.
Who's involved
- EuropeThe continent where partnerships are being formed to coordinate the energy transition.
- hydrogenThe chemical element central to the new partnerships and industrial decarbonization efforts.
- Plug PowerA company whose business model relies fundamentally on hydrogen for fuel cell technologies.
- CF IndustriesA manufacturer that actively sells hydrogen and nitrogen products as part of its core business.
