Hydrogen and Climate Partnership – A new hydrogen network between Canada and Germany as a key component of a climate-neutral energy system (H2Clip)

Ambitious climate targets in Canada, the European Union, and Germany require a transformation of industrial supply structures, transmission networks, and energy flows to climate-neutral alternatives. The Hydrogen and Climate Partnership (H2CLiP) project sought to examine the interrelationships and effects of restructuring of industrial value chains in Canada and Germany and explore the potential of cooperation based on hydrogen with regards to the economy, climate change mitigation, and security of supply. For this project, ESMIA joined partners in Canada and Germany to identify the optimal conditions for increasing the cost-effectiveness of hydrogen technologies and pathways, shaping new integrated hydrogen networks. The project’s goal was to develop a unified approach for analyzing climate policy impacts and demonstrate how low-cost, low-carbon Hydrogen technologies can be incorporated into our economies.
