Hydrogen development in the USA and Canada

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) became US law on August 16, 2022. A significant part of the IRA is massive support for the clean energy sector, including hydrogen. The Government of Canada set out its commitment to developing a clean hydrogen economy in December 2020 when it published a Canadian Hydrogen Strategy. By 2050, the country intends to supply up to 30 percent of its energy in the form of hydrogen gas and become one of the top three producers of pure hydrogen globally.

Safe hydrogen installations

• Date May 16th
• SHDC Online Event (Zoom) 

In March 2023 Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) sent a revised version of the regulation regarding handling of flammable gases “MSBFS2020:1” for consultation. The revision focuses on new specific regulations for hydrogen handling, including a new appendix regarding safety distance for hydrogen. The documents, in Swedish, can be found here: https://www.msb.se/sv/regler/remisser-om-foreskrifter-och-allmanna-rad/https://www.msb.se/sv/regler/remisser-om-foreskrifter-och-allmanna-rad/

The purpose of this online event is to provide increased understanding, knowledge, and discussions on the current and upcoming regulations on safe hydrogen installations, but also to understand how this works in reality: both in installations and in permitting. What is new in the coming regulations on hydrogen handling, what can coming permitting processes and installations learn from previous installations, and how can we continue the development of this important topic?

Welcome to this event by Swedish Hydrogen Development Center on safe hydrogen installations!

• Register by accepting the Outlook-invitation

One year ago, the Danish government agreed on a Power-to-X strategy to accelerate the development of green hydrogen and e-fuels and put Denmark in a leading European position.  What has happened since the agreement, and which plans are being realized? What is the status of the coming energy islands (with a special focus on Bornholm), electricity generation and pipelines?  

The purpose of this online event is to provide the latest updates, an understanding, and interest in the hydrogen and Power-to-X development in Denmark.  

Welcome to this event by Swedish Hydrogen Development Center on a Danish Outlook.
