The bp Chair in Industrial Environment of the Universitat Jaume I has held the conference "Challenges and opportunities in the value chain of green hydrogen", which has had the participation of 50 people in person and about 60 online.

The current energy situation has highlighted the need to seek alternatives to gas that guarantee greater independence. In the midst of the energy transition and with the objective of achieving zero net emissions by 2050, hydrogen will be an important pillar for decarbonising all areas of the economy, in conjunction with other technologies and greater energy efficiency.

Green or low-carbon hydrogen is hydrogen generated by the process of electrolysis using water and electricity from renewable sources. The importance of this technology stems from the need to decarbonise those industrial or transport applications that are difficult to electrify directly (for example, the ceramics industry, the iron and steel sectors or heavy and long-distance transport).

With the projects already presented, Spain could become the largest hydrogen producer in Europe, due to its privileged situation in terms of renewable electricity production capacity and gas infrastructure. However, there are still challenges, such as the lack of infrastructure, the ability to adjust supply and demand, the lack of a regulatory framework and the need to develop economies of scale to reduce the costs of the necessary technology.

In this sense, Sagrari Miguel, Green Hydrogen Commercial Advisor at bp, explained some of the actions bp is taking to overcome these challenges, such as innovation, public-private collaboration or strategic alliances with currently gas-intensive sectors or with renewable electricity producers. For example, at the Castelló Refinery, through agreements with the ceramics sector and Iberdrola.

On the other hand, Beatriz Fernández, Green Hydrogen Electrolysis Specialist at bp, addressed the state of electrolyser technology, its challenges in terms of costs and supply of key components or the expected evolution, and also explained the opportunities of hydrogen for decarbonisation, the integration of renewables or the generation of employment.

The conference will be available on video on the Chair's website and on its YouTube channel.
