Synergies of renewable hydrogen and biobased value chains deployment: environmental performance and promising value chains
Producing biobased hydrogen could be an alternative option for renewable hydrogen provision. Moreover, there are many biobased processes either high in demand for renewable hydrogen (e.g. synthetic renewable fuels, biorefining) or that could benefit from renewable hydrogen integration. This webinar attempts to shed light on promising biobased value chains that could deploy synergies between the hydrogen sector and the bioenergy sector, and presents information on the environmental performance and impacts of some of the value chains. Thereby the focus is on recent concepts for 1) ‘renewable hydrogen production from biomass’ and 2) ‘use of renewable hydrogen in biobased processes’, considered in different parts of the world.
This webinar is part of a webinar series within the IEA Bioenergy Inter-task project Synergies of green hydrogen and bio-based value chains deployment. While the first webinar presented the status of technologies and highlighted selected case studies, this webinar covers the assessment of promising (synergy) value chains. The presentations and the recording of the first webinar can be accessed here.
