In a collaborative effort between the European Patent Office
(EPO) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA),
this patent insight report examines the global evolution
of patent filings published between 2005 and 2020 in the
domain of electrolysers used to produce hydrogen.
Green hydrogen is benefiting from a new wave of interest due to its potential to make a significant contribution to meeting climate goals and advancing the energy transition. In response, IRENA has been analysing options for the production and consumption of green hydrogen, along with devising policies to support and accelerate its commercialisation and wide adoption

The aim is to build on existing work, collate
all relevant information into one place, and
look longer term so that proactive measures
can be taken

The South African National Energy Agency (SANEA), a member of the World Energy Council (WEC)
embarked on a process in 2018 to unpack the energy risks facing South Africa at a country and industry
level.
Reduction of CO2 emissions is critical to limit global warming
to below current commitments (considered unsustainable).“Sector Coupling” is the key lever
for decarbonization of all end-user sectors.In a fully decarbonized scenario (beyond 2050),
Power-to-X plays a major role in the energy landscape
The South African National Energy Association (SANEA) in partnership with the Wits Business School’s African Energy Leadership Centre (AELC), the University of Witwatersrand’s Centre for Researching Education and Labour (REAL) and with the support of the South African BRICS Business Council proposed the development of a South African Energy Skills Roadmap to support a Just Energy Transition in South Africa. .

Green hydrogen, ammonia and other renewable fuels of non-biological origin look set to play an important role in the transition to a cleaner, lower-carbon economy.Their use could be key in the future global energy mix, with hydrogen playing an essential role as a fuel and feedstock that can help decarbonise entire industries, those that are not suited to electrification.
