The Belgian Hydrogen Council (BHC) held its first public conference in Brussels, organized by WaterstofNet and Cluster TWEED.
With the BHC, launched in March 2023, WaterstofNet and Cluster TWEED joined forces between their regional clusters Waterstof Industrie Cluster and H2Hub Wallonia under the umbrella of the Belgian Hydrogen Council.
With around 400 registrations from companies, research institutions, governments, foreign embassies and journalists, the Dockx Dome Event hall was packed.
On the program for the day: opening speeches by regional Ministers Jo Brouns and Philippe Henry, 6 key note speeches by Tom Hautekiet (president of the BHC), Steven Libbrecht (CEO Hydrogen Council), Namibian ambassador Mekondjo Kaapanda-Girnus, CEO of CMB Alexander Saverys, professor at University de Liège Aurore Richel and Ruud Kempener who works at the cabinet of European Commissioner Kadri Simson. We had the honor of welcoming Federal Minister Tinne Van der Straeten to close our conference with an exiting speech.
The speeches were complemented by 4 dynamic panel discussions on Belgium as a large hydrogen offtake, a key technology supplier, a world leader on hydrogen R&D and as an important partner for regional, European and international collaboration.
The main message throughout the day: Realistic ambitions over euphoria !
The attendees were also introduced to a brand new BHC company directory brochure wherein we showcase our Belgian companies and expertise around the Belgian value chain.
Thanks to all speakers and participants to make this a successful first edition of the Belgian Hydrogen Council conference !

Belgian Hydrogen Council Memorandum Elections 2024.pdfCluster TWEED
Début 2023, les clusters régionaux WaterstofNet et Cluster Tweed (H2Hub Wallonia) ont uni leurs forces dans le domaine de l'hydrogène en lançant le Belgian Hydrogen Council (BHC) et en réunissant ainsi efficacement l'ensemble de la chaîne de valeur belge de l'hydrogène. Le BHC vise à transcender les différents niveaux politiques de notre pays en conseillant les décideurs politiques sur le déploiement de leurs stratégies régionales et fédérales en matière d'hydrogène.
Dans cette optique et à la lumière des élections à venir en 2024, le BHC a rédigé un mémorandum contenant des recommandations politiques pour nos futurs gouvernements, centrées autour de six actions clés :
* Assurer un financement/soutien suffisant et compétitif pour l’hydrogène propre
* Développer une infrastructure hydrogène à part entière et en libre accès
* Créer un marché liquide pour l’hydrogène propre
* Libérer le potentiel de décarbonation de l’hydrogène dans le secteur des transports
* Stimuler la recherche et le développement sur l’hydrogène
* Organiser des formations, des éducations et des sensibilisations sur l’hydrogène
Will combining sectors deliver blue growthBVG Associates
Mike Blanch's presentation to AllEnergy on behalf of the Maribe Project highlighting the potential impact of different sectors involved in marine economy working together for better results
The continuous increase of the scope and the scale of the anthropogenic activities in which agriculture plays a significant role contributes to a rapid negative impact on the carbon cycle. The impact of agriculture on CO2 emissions will be further increased, considering that the world population will reach 9.7 billion by 2050.
The EU has committed to mitigating the carbon footprint from agriculture as described in the CAP (Objective 4), the European Green Deal and its flagship strategies, the Farm to Fork and the Biodiversity strategies. The efficiency of this carbon footprint from agriculture strategies will be mainly determined by the synergy amongst all stakeholders (policy, industry, academia, civil society) in the quadruple helix within the place-based innovation ecosystems.
The widening countries involved in this project, Cyprus, Greece, and North Macedonia, as part of the Balkan-Mediterranean region, are heavily impacted by climate change. To achieve these targets an inter- and transdisciplinary approach is required to integrate the expertise and knowledge of all relevant stakeholders and a place-based perspective and design needs-based carbon farming solutions (practices and technologies) as well as strict policies to foster shifts towards a Climate-resilient Agriculture.
The main objective of this project is to establish CARBONICA Excellence Hub by connecting the innovation ecosystems of Cyprus, Greece, and North Macedonia, while enhancing their TRL as service providers, based on cutting-edge technologies (Earth Observation – EO; in situ data; digital agriculture etc.) in carbon farming. The main scope is to establish access to excellence for all relevant stakeholders in the QH of the WC, as well as strengthen regional innovation capacity guided by long-term joint R&I strategy in the carbon farming field.
Webinar: The business case for CCS in the power industry: a case study of the...Global CCS Institute
Developing the CCS power industry sustainably requires projects to deliver a suitable return on investment, in order to accommodate the risks inherent in the technology. But, the cost of CCS facilities is not yet covered by electricity sales revenue at current wholesale power prices anywhere in the world, nor is it covered by the ability to earn income from avoiding or reducing CO2 emissions. Building a business case for CCS power is therefore a major challenge.
The Global CCS Institute webinar that was held on Monday 22nd July was presented by 2Co Energy, sharing the real-life CCS business case for its CCS project in the UK, the Don Valley Power Project (DVPP). By sharing this information, 2Co Energy, which is known for its belief in the contribution CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) can make to enhancing the economics of CCS, will present practical information that can be of use to other CCS practitioners as they develop their own business cases for CCS around the world.
The webinar covered the following topics:
A brief overview of 2Co and its CCS project in the UK, DVPP
A brief summary of existing business case studies made by other Members of the Institute, highlighting what was considered most important by them
The market and regulatory context for CCS faced by DVPP and other projects in the UK
The financing challenge that 2Co faces and the resulting financing strategy
The resulting business plan, including revenue and cost profiles, sensitivities and prospects for future cost reduction
Key risks to the project and mitigation plans.
The webinar will be of interest to CCS business developers, commercial professionals, policy makers, and regulators with an interest in enabling a CCS power industry.

A big thank you to the Speakers, Organisers and everyone who attended the event!
This third webinar in the series 'CCS in Developing Countries' was presented by the World Bank.
Deploying CCS in developing countries is critically important. The International Energy Agency estimates that to achieve global emissions reduction targets 70% of CCS projects will be in non-OECD countries by 2050.
CCS faces a number of challenges, in all countries, but particularly in developing countries. This webinar discussed some of these challenges and barriers using South Africa as a case study. South Africa is working towards a Test Injection Project and subsequently a Carbon Capture and Sequestration Project. The World Bank considered it important to understand a set of constraints, including regulatory, technical, economic, human capacity, etc. to realization of CCS demonstration and commercialization, and how the CCS development will look like in the South African context, out to 2050. A techno-economic assessment has been undertaken to gain this understanding.
The techno-economic assessment explored CCS deployment in six relevant industries in South Africa, and assessed projected scenarios associated with key issues of interest (such as cost, impact on electricity prices, timeframes etc). The key output from the techno-economic study was a techno-economic model, supported by the data sets, specifically for South Africa. The potential storage site capacity has been analysed to provide a strong indication of the likely storage capacity available within physical and economic constraints.

Webinaire | WhatsUpp in... France, regarding energy communities ? - 14 mars 2024Cluster TWEED
Les communautés d'énergie citoyennes (CEC) et les communautés d'énergie renouvelables (CER) sont des moyens permettant aux citoyens et aux entreprises de prendre part à la transition énergétique. Introduites par les directives "marché" 2019/944 et "renouvelable" 2018/2001, leur transposition au niveau national s'effectue de manière diverse selon les pays et les régions. En France, la transposition s'est matérialisée par l'ordonnance du 21 mars 2021. Cependant, la mise en place effective des CEC et des CER reste un défi.
Le premier numéro des webinaire Whats'upp in... organisé par le Cluster TWEED le jeudi 14 mars dernier portait sur les considérations légales et l'état d'avancement des initiatives de partage d'énergie en France.

La réglementation NIS porte sur la protection des réseaux et systèmes d'information des infrastructures essentielles et importantes. A partir d'octobre 2024, la directive NIS2 remplacera la précédente directive NIS1. La nouvelle réglementation concerne davantage de secteurs, élargit le scope au "supply chain", exige des mesures de sécurité plus détaillées et prévoit des sanctions plus strictes aux entreprises concernées qui ne s'y conforment pas.
L'objectif de ce webinaire, organisé en collaboration avec l'Infopole, était d'analyser plus en détails les changements apportés par NIS2 et d'apporter des éclaircissements, tant sur les aspects légaux que pratiques pour sa mise en oeuvre au sein des entreprises.

novembre.
La matinée fut l'occasion de faire le point sur le positionnement de la Wallonie au niveau des réseaux de chaleur et de la géothermie, de présenter le nouveau cadre légal wallon sur le sujet et les développements à l'échelle européenne.
Le focus de l'après-midi était davantage technique, avec la présentation de trois projets de géothermie peu profonde sélectionnés dans le cadre du Plan de Relance de la Wallonie et de divers projets et études relatifs au monitoring, à la géothermie minière ou encore à la géothermie profonde. La session s'est clôturée par une présentation vidéo du Cluster Islandais de Géothermie, désireux de nouer des collaborations avec les acteurs wallons.
TWEED a également profité de cet événement pour lancer au sein du cluster, un nouvel écosystème baptisé "Heat2Network", le réseau des acteurs de la chaleur verte. Cet écosystème se veut être une plateforme structurante et transversale qui rassemblera tous les acteurs de la filière en Wallonie. Nous vous reviendrons prochainement pour structurer les actions présentées par Louise (lsamain@clustertweed.be).

Les porteurs de projet se heurtent cependant à plusieurs écueils : complexité et délais des demandes de permis, multitude de parties prenantes, phénomène NIMBY, principe de précaution de la part des décideurs, pertes de surfaces agricoles / industrielles, etc.
Sertius vous a proposé une journée pour faire le point sur la situation, avec des retours d’expérience et des pistes concrètes pour optimiser vos chances de succès.
Webinaire PPA - Power Purchase Agreement - 04 octobre 2023Cluster TWEED
Le Cluster TWEED et le cabinet d’avocats Janson ont eu le plaisir de vous inviter à ce webinaire dédié aux contrats d'achat d'électricité (PPA).
Face à la demande croissante d'électricité, l'émergence des énergies renouvelables, et à la volatilité des prix de l'énergie, les contrats d'achat d'électricité (PPA) sont l'un des principaux moteurs de la transition énergétique.
Le projet AMORCE (Analyse Macro et micro-économique pour l’Optimisation et la Réplicabilité des Communautés d’Energie) vise à étudier le gain sociétal lié au développement des nouveaux modes d’échange d’énergie, et de proposer des schémas et modèles de tarifications/protocole/sécurité cohérents pour tous les acteurs, et surtout, compréhensibles pour les citoyens et utilisateurs finaux.
Pour nourrir les études, des liens étroits sont mis en place avec les stakeholders de l’écosystème wallon et également avec des groupements citoyens, utilisateurs ou encore des sociétés d’investissements, développeurs et gestionnaires immobiliers présents sur le territoire de la Ville de Liège, où pourront être déployés ensuite les Living Labs, permettant de nuancer et de faire vivre les conclusions des études précédentes.
Un Living Lab est un « laboratoire vivant » ou « démonstrateur pilote », permettant aux équipes de recherche de transposer des modélisations théoriques dans la réalité.
Notre objectif est d’étudier la possibilité de mettre en place une « communauté d’énergie » dans le bâtiment Madeleine, basée sur des installations de production d’électricité « verte » (par exemple, des panneaux photovoltaïques qui seraient installés sur les toits de immeuble).
La finalité du projet est donc de proposer des modèles et des outils permettant de répliquer les communautés d’énergie dans les configurations identifiées comme les plus pertinentes pour la collectivité. Il sera alors possible de quantifier le potentiel d’économies énergétiques et environnementales dans les prochaines années et de planifier sa réalisation.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

41. Opportunity: the role of hydrogen as an integrator
H2 is about decarbonization. Also: making REN investments more efficient
Electricity Gas Liquid
• high densely populated
• nuclear
• off-shore wind
• 3 different grids - hydrogen as the integrator
• Our reflections on energy need to become more holistic and
integrative instead of single grid based
• We have modelled the role and value of hydrogen integrated
in the energy system (C/W Europe, Japan, Texas)
Electrolyzers responding to market signals could reduce
the renewable capacity needed by 9% while lowering
system costs by $2.1 billion per year. (for C/W Europe)
(Source: Hydrogen in Decarbonized Energy Systems - Hydrogen Council, October 2023)
42. Focus item: hydrogen ecosystems don’t grow magically
Ecosystem growth is a staged process
From To
Minimum viable ecosystem Mature ecosystem
MVE: the smallest ecosystem configuration of elements that need and can be brought
together in order to operate as an ecosystem creating unique commercial value
Example
• 200 FCEV taxis in a city, with 5 HRS with
guaranteed H2 supply and OEM service point
Individuals that make a difference Many more actors brought in the game
43. Some conclusions & challenges
The need for Planning, Adoption, Collaboration between many actors
Governments & industry need to work together
to maximize the opportunities offered by global hydrogen trade
and the integrated role of hydrogen (building infrastructure)
Infrastructure X Products X Economics
We need to reason in terms of staged ecosystem growth
(first focus: minimal viable ecosystems)
More than supply & demand: we need to reason in terms of the
entire supply chain (synchronised rise)

Building a Green Hydrogen Partnership
Dr Mekondjo Kaapanda-Girnus
Ambassador of the Republic of Namibia to Belgium
Joining Forces on Hydrogen– 16 October 2023
48. Namibia’s Green Hydrogen Ambitions
www.gh2namibia.com
• Namibia will focus on the export of hydrogen derivatives including ammonia,
methanol, synthetic kerosene and hot- briquetted iron.
• Namibia aspires to create an at-scale green fuels industry with a production
target of 10- 12 Mtpa hydrogen equivalent by 2050
• We could create up to 600 000 green jobs by 2040 (over 60% of Namibia’s
current employed population)
• By 2030, Namibia’s hydrogen industry could contribute US$4.1 billion (in real
2022 dollars) to GDP, 32% more than 2030 GDP estimates with no hydrogen
industry.

Hydrogen : promises and challenges
From past to nowadays, review of academic
research directions
55. Hydrogen research
Distinct timeframes in the history of
hydrogen research
Observation and fundamental discoveries
(16th - late 19th century)
Exploration and industrial stabilization of
production routes and application fields
(transport, energy, chemistry) (1901-mid 70s)
Increasing academic knowledge,
most marked from the 1970s onwards
58. Hydrogen economy
(Bockris, Science, 1972)
« Universal energy carrier through which
nuclear energy and solar energy could
be produced and distributed
economically» (Bockris, 1972)
« Energy storage that allows continuous
base-load electricity supply in a system
relying on intermittent and variable
renewable energy resources such as
solar and wind energy » (Clark, 2006)
60. Hydrogen in scientific publications
(1865-2023, SciFindrer – « hydrogen » and « energy »
Research on Oct 3rd, 2023)
398,658 results (patents: 7%)
2022
(31,686)
1972
(1524)
1979-1980 2012-2013
61. Hydrogen in scientific publications
(1865-2023, SciFindrer – « hydrogen » and « energy »
Research on Oct 3rd, 2023)
• 1972-1979: first phase of intensive research
(4%*)
• 1980-2012: steady (but typical) increase in
the number of published acts (40%*)
• 2013-2023: exponential growth in published
research works (53%*)
* Distribution based on the total number of publications, including those prior to 1972
62. Hydrogen research: phase 1
1972-1979
Critical decade for energy (oil crises):
definition of more resilient energy systems
Environmental concerns were not the
main motivation
Peak after 1974 following the creation of
IEA* and IAHE*
* International Energy Agency (IEA) and International
Association for Hydrogen Energy
63. Hydrogen research: phase 1
1972-1979
Key investigators: US (Japan, UK, Europe)
Hot topics:
- Holistic approaches
- Production routes (water and methane,
and coal or H2 from oil-refining processes)

69. Future research directions or recommendations
Boosting H2 production
(photocatalysts, alternative routes
without rare metals or without F-
containing membranes)
Arbitrate technological and
application chains based on
scientific data (multidisciplinarity)
Evaluating innovative nuclear
approaches for H2 production
Thoroughly study of the GWP of
H2 and reflection on controlling
the entire value chain
70. 1972. Structured into 3 phases with different dynamics.
Research objectives specific to each phase due to
external (economic and environmental) factors.
The presence of Belgian universities is only significant
from phase 3 onward (due to related funding).
The research is scattered into clusters and runs the risk
of being labeled as a “hype”.
Fields that are still relatively unexplored but crucial for
achieving sustainable development goals and long-term
economic viability.
