DUTCH GREEN HYDROGEN PRODUCTION COSTS EXCEED EXPECTATIONS, TNO STUDY FINDS [Innovation Origins] A TNO study shows that producing green hydrogen in the Netherlands is more expensive than previously thought, at over €13 per kilogram. A recent investigation by the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) unveils that producing green hydrogen in the Netherlands may surpass €13 per kilogram, higher than past estimates. This figure is based on real-time data from projects currently under development at Maasvlakte 2 in the Port of Rotterdam, a hub for large-scale green hydrogen initiatives. Rising electricity prices, increased network fees, and inflation have contributed to the cost spike. While the current price point is daunting, parallels drawn with offshore wind energy suggest a potential for significant cost reductions. Industry and government collaboration, regulatory adjustments, and technological advances are essential for the #Netherlands to achieve a competitive edge in the renewable hydrogen market. You can read this full article in the link below. Luisa F.

🧪 World Bio Markets 2024: A #Bioeconomy Revolution Brewing! ♻️ Just wrapped up an incredible two days at World Bio Markets in the Hague with my Plastic. Climate. Future. #podcast partner-in-crime, John Sewell! ️ As the key media ecosystem partner, we had the privilege of leading over 20 inspiring conversations with pioneers, bright young minds, and dedicated industry leaders shaping the future of the bioeconomy. Here's the lowdown on the key takeaways that left us buzzing: 👣 Bio Goes Big! Forget niche – the bioeconomy is exploding! From big names like IKEA and Reckitt to major investors (European Circular Bioeconomy Fund (ECBF), Capricorn Partners) and bio giants (Metsä Group, Stora Enso) – the event buzzed with mainstream adoption across ALL manufacturing sectors. This ain't a fad, folks – it's a full-blown revolution! 👫 Collaboration is King! The clear message? Finance, technology, and established industries need to join forces to truly scale bio solutions. Imagine the future where investors fuel groundbreaking innovations, tech companies bridge the gap between lab and reality, and industry giants implement these solutions at scale! 🫶 Sharing is Caring! (Yes, again!) Breakthroughs happen when knowledge is shared and circular value chains are built. Feedstock companies, material innovators, and brands (the end users) need to work together to create a system that's not just sustainable, but truly #regenerative. Check out the video (ight in front of the "Plastic. Climate. Future." booth – how fitting!) for a glimpse into the energy of the event. This is just the beginning, folks – the bioeconomy is here to stay! #WorldBioMarkets #Bioeconomy #Sustainability #Collaboration #Innovation P.S. Stay tuned for some amazing interview content and podcast episodes featuring the brilliant minds we met at the event! ️ Pedro Guincho
