Continuous Clean Power to Accelerate Hydrogen Adoption

The Challenge

Global hydrogen demand surpassed 97 million tonnes in 2023, primarily for refining and industrial processes. As the clean energy transition accelerates, demand is projected to reach:

• 179.9 million tonnes by 2030
• Over 500 million tonnes by 2070

Future growth will be driven by new applications in heavy industry, long-distance transport, and energy storage.

Governments worldwide are incentivizing low-emission hydrogen production. For example, the EU targets 20 million tonnes of clean hydrogen demand by 2030.

⚠️ Barriers Hindering Green Hydrogen Scale-Up

Despite its promise, green hydrogen adoption faces formidable constraints:

• 🌤️ Dependence on solar and wind — unpredictable and often poorly aligned with production needs
• 💸 Electricity costs exceeding 60% of operational expenditure, compounded by extreme price volatility
• 🌱 Land-use conflicts in renewable energy siting, particularly in agricultural and forested zones
• 🧊 Storage dependency due to mismatched energy availability and hydrogen demand profiles

Electrolysis — the primary process for green hydrogen — requires large, consistent electricity input to split water (H₂O) into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂), making energy source reliability mission-critical.

❓ What If...

What if hydrogen could be produced:

• With continuous clean energy, untethered from land constraints or weather?
• Cost-effectively, at scale, without the need for extensive storage buffers?
• While supporting investor returns and fulfilling global decarbonisation targets?

Continuous Clean Power to Accelerate CCS Adoption

The Challenge

The global Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) market is poised for exponential growth, with forecasts estimating a surge from a few billion dollars in the early 2020s to $10 billion+ by the mid-2030s — backed by annual growth rates of 7.4% to 18.18%.

From 2023 to 2027, CCS capacity is expected to increase by 104.5 million tonnes, achieving a CAGR of 22.91%. A notable portion of this demand is driven by Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects, where captured CO₂ enhances oil output — creating tangible revenue streams.

Yet despite its promise, CCS adoption is constrained by steep costs, especially within broader CCUS (Carbon Capture Utilisation & Storage) frameworks that depend on robust CCS infrastructure.

⚠️ Barriers Hindering CCS Scale-Up

Carbon capture technologies are energy-intensive — requiring vast power inputs to separate, compress, and transport CO₂. These demands strain current power plants and infrastructure, especially in 24/7 industrial settings.

Key obstacles include:

• 🌤️ Reliance on intermittent renewables like solar and wind — often mismatched with continuous CCS operations
• 💸 Electricity costs exceeding 40% of operational expenditure — amplified by grid price volatility
• 🌱 Land-use conflicts in solar/wind siting — limiting deployment near industrial hubs
• 🚚 Dependency on carbon storage & transport infrastructure — often misaligned with clean energy availability

One example: a power station is expected to consume 200 MW of electricity to operate its CCS equipment — nearly one-third of its total output, excluding power for EV-based carbon logistics.

❓ What If...

What if CCS deployment could be scaled:

• With continuous clean energy, unaffected by weather or land constraints?
• Cost-effectively, at industrial scale, without excessive backup systems?
• In a way that enables 24/7 operations, supports e-fuels, and delivers compelling investor returns?

Continuous Clean Power to Accelerate CCUS Adoption

The Challenge

As industries race toward net-zero targets, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) has emerged as a cornerstone technology. Demand is surging — with market projections growing from $3.4 billion in 2024 to $9.6 billion by 2029, at a robust CAGR of 23.1%.

CCUS is applicable across coal, gas, and biomass power plants, enabling emission capture while stabilizing grids by providing "on-demand" balancing power. It also helps extend asset lifecycles, avoiding premature retirement of fossil-based infrastructure.

⚠️ Barriers Hindering CCUS-Based Decarbonisation

Despite its potential, CCUS remains energy-intensive, demanding immense power to separate, compress, and transport CO₂ — especially in 24/7 industrial environments.

Key challenges include:

• ⚗️ Electrolysers and CCS systems require Hydrogen & CO₂ continuously — intensifying energy loads
• 🌤️ Reliance on intermittent solar & wind misaligns with nonstop CCUS demand
• 💸 Electricity costs >70% of OPEX, coupled with price volatility
• 🌱 Land conflicts restrict large-scale renewable siting near industrial zones
• 🚚 Carbon transport & storage infrastructure often lacks proximity to clean power sources

Example: A cement plant may need 300 MW of electricity just to power its CCUS unit — nearly double its current consumption, not including logistics for CO₂ transport.

❓ What If...

Imagine CCUS systems that operate:

• With predictable clean energy, unconstrained by weather or geography
• At industrial scale, without costly backup power
• Enabling 24/7 operations, e-fuels production, and investor-grade returns

Continuous Clean Power to Accelerate EV Adoption

The Challenge

EV adoption is rapidly accelerating, driven by ambitious government mandates to phase out petrol and diesel vehicles. Demand for robust charging infrastructure is surging — with revenues from passenger vehicle charging expected to reach:

• £7 billion in the UK
• £43 billion across Europe by 2030

Yet alongside this growth, affordability and accessibility remain pressing concerns.

⚠️ Barriers Hindering EV Adoption

Despite the decarbonisation potential of electric mobility, systemic issues continue to stall progress:

• 🚗 EV pricing inflation — driven by rising battery costs and dominance of premium models
• ⚡ Charging costs doubling — particularly on public rapid networks
• 🌤️ Reliance on intermittent solar and wind — requiring expensive fossil backup
• 💰 Fossil fuel volatility — inflating operational costs and consumer pricing

Example: A single rapid charge (50 - 149kW) now averages 80p/kWh, meaning a typical EV charge from 10% to 80% can cost around £41.18 — up 28% from two years ago.

❓ What If...

What if EV charging could be:

• Powered by predictable clean energy, untouched by weather fluctuations
• Delivered cost-effectively, without fossil fuel backup
• Scaled to meet national targets and user demand — reliably and affordably

Continuous Clean Power to Accelerate BESS Adoption

The Challenge

The global Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) market is scaling fast — driven by rising demand for renewable integration, grid stability, and energy efficiency. Between 2024 and 2030, market forecasts project:

• CAGR of ~21%
• Value surge from $13.7 billion to $43.4 billion

Short-duration storage remains the sector's strength, but scaling BESS for grid-level impact requires addressing deep-rooted constraints.

⚠️ Barriers Hindering BESS Scalability

Despite its decarbonisation potential, widespread adoption of BESS is challenged by:

• 🧪 Critical mineral supply constraints — including lithium and graphite
• 🔥 Stricter fire safety codes impacting deployment speed and density
• ⚡ Dependence on clean charging sources — currently limited by solar/wind intermittency
• 💸 Escalating energy costs for charging and discharging — especially via public rapid networks
• 🌤️ Backup fossil generation often needed post-discharge, undermining sustainability goals

When BESS is charged from fossil-dominated grids, its environmental promise weakens — and cost barriers intensify.

❓ What If...

What if BESS infrastructure could be:

• ⚡ Charged predictably and cleanly, regardless of weather or geography
• 💰 Deployed affordably, without relying on fossil-based backup power
• 🛠️ Scaled reliably, in line with national grid targets and user demand
