Green Hydrogen Project in Sines Set to Revolutionize Portugal's Energy with Global Collaboration

The speaker, with experience in energy consulting and innovation at GALP Energia, discusses their shift towards renewable energies via decentralized systems. They founded Self Energy and are engaged in projects that leverage green hydrogen as a locally producible resource using renewables like solar power through water electrolysis. A notable project near Sines, Portugal is part of KEME Energy’s EU-backed initiative to reduce reliance on imported natural gas by integrating green hydrogen into existing infrastructures. This involves creating industrial-scale models for efficient resource sharing among partners while scaling from micro-projects to larger ones ensuring technology maturity before full deployment. The Green Hydrogen Valley initiatives aim to foster local ecosystems supporting sustainable practices aligned with 2030-2040 targets amidst political considerations regarding infrastructure constraints. The discussion also covers the reliability and cost-effectiveness of hydrogen technology, highlighting a Chinese company's role in this sector. It stresses making hydrogen cheaper through technological advancements irrespective of origin—China or Europe—and suggests collaboration between Chinese and European firms could enhance design processes while reducing costs across borders. An EU grant supports developing knowledge within Europe; collaborations involving German entities adopting alkaline technologies from China align positively if they meet funded project goals. The dialogue concludes optimistically about ongoing projects targeting significant milestones like reaching half-gigawatt capacity stages.
