Lowest subsidy of 0,37 €/kg was claimed by #RenGas project in Lahti, #Finland, producing 12kt H2 p.a. and combining with CO2 from nearby bioenergy plant to produce methane for traffic.
The waste heat from the H2/CH4 process is sold as #districtHeat which yields more proceeds (10M€ p.a.) than the subsidy (4M€ p.a.). The 60-90MW electrolyser can also bid in reserve market.
"Rather than using their own furnaces, boilers, fireplaces or electric baseboard heaters to heat buildings, consumers would receive heat directly from a utility.
In Europe, 67 million people enjoy heating from thermal networks and #DistrictHeat systems supplied by a variety of sources in a mix that is increasingly less reliant on carbon."
#DistrictHeat makes #WasteEnergy heating much easier to install as you only need one connection point:
"Meta’s hyperscale data center—spanning 50,000 square meters on an industrial estate on the edge of the city—has been pushing warm air generated by its servers into the district heating network under Odense. "
