Carola Ruse, Head of Business Unit Electrolyser Solutions tells H2 View that Bosch will expand electrolyser manufacturing capacity step-by-step in response to confirmed orders, as it eyes a flexible, regionalised production strategy – including possible...
Aurora Energy Research said with high costs, weak policy, and a lack of infrastructure, green hydrogen will play “little-to-no” role in the heating, rail, and road transport sectors.
“Existing supply-side incentives are critical, and market mechanisms will catalyse first-mover transactions, but they are not a substitute for policy-backed demand,” the RMI report said.
In response to H2 View, Air Products said the IEEFA report repeats “old, unsubstantiated arguments” while ignoring the benefits of its “proven technology.”
