Country-specific cost projections for renewable hydrogen production through off-grid electricity systems

Renewable hydrogen is increasingly recognized as one of the key decarbonisation options compatible with the EU’s climate neutrality goal. We quantify possible cost reductions for renewable hydrogen production until 2050 through electrolysis with off-grid renewable electricity generation systems. We focus on the use of solar PV and on- and...

Heart of light an assessment of enhanced electricity access in Africa

A large part of the population in many African countries lacks access to electricity, in contrast to the ambition of reaching universal energy access as expressed in the Sustainable Development Goals. Off-grid electricity technologies have been proposed as an important means to solve this challenge. It is uncertain, however, at what rate these...
