The EU auction for #hydrogen production results:
https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_24_2333

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.

Yesterday #Fortum, the local heating utility in Espoo, Finland, has shut down their last remaining coal plant at #Suomenoja.
One year ahead of schedule.

#DistrictHeating in #Espoo is decarbonising quickly and increasingly relies on excess heat recovery, #HeatPumps, several hundred megawatt electric boilers and #heatStorage.
