Support frameworks which address both green hydrogen supply and demand, as well as cross-border initiatives, will be pivotal to delivering affordable green hydrogen, a panel has concluded.
The ‘Gas & Hydrogen: Bridging the Gap’ panel, part of the ongoing Energy Storage Summit 2021 organised by
Energy-Storage.news publisher Solar Media, brought together a panel of stakeholders of the green hydrogen economy, including advocacy groups, policymakers and project developers.
Kicking off the debate was Peter Duffy of the Irish Energy Storage Association, who discussed the potential for green hydrogen to address the “real challenge” of providing energy storage for periods of time beyond 48 hours and as long as two to three weeks.

The UK’s move to net zero emissions will require a reinforced distribution network and a varied mix of energy storage technologies to make the most of low-cost renewables generation.
Participants in today’s keynote panel discussion at the Energy Storage Summit 2021 explored the challenges and opportunities confronting the sector in the face of carbon neutrality targets, which will require innovation and investment to make a range of storage technologies commercially viable.

The benefits – and remaining challenges – of the UK’s new frequency response service Dynamic Containment (DC) were discussed at today’s Energy Storage Summit by a panel of experts and industry stakeholders.
The sub-second, post-fault response service was first soft-launched in October 2020 and is – as Devrim Celal, CEO of energy tech firm Upside Energy, described today – “truly the first digital solution that’s come out of National Grid”.
The service is largely lauded for its lucrative revenues, with Mike Ryan, UK commercial director at battery optimisation and energy trading firm Habitat Energy telling the audiences virtually gathered at the Summit that this is “clearly one of the things that’s attracting all asset owners” into the market, adding it “cons
