Workshop to inform and prepare attendees for the upcoming ESA Space Solutions invitation to tender Green Hydrogen As a Sustainable Energy Source
Space for Clean Energy Transition is a priority focus area for ESA Space Solutions
This Invitation to Tender invites proposals for feasibility studies for services that explore innovative uses of space technology to advance green hydrogen as a sustainable energy source. This study aims to leverage satellite communication (SatCom), satellite Earth observation (SatEO), and satellite navigation (SatNav) to support green hydrogen production, storage, and distribution. The focus is on evaluating practical applications of green hydrogen across multiple sectors, including:
- Energy
- Transportation
- Maritime
- Smart cities
By integrating space-based solutions, we seek to address technical challenges, enhance infrastructure, and foster a resilient hydrogen economy that contributes to net-zero carbon goals by 2050.
Proposals are encouraged to assess the feasibility of satellite-based solutions in supporting hydrogen technology, emphasising environmental sustainability, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. The study should involve collaboration with user communities in relevant sectors, aiming to develop a proof of concept (PoC) and outline potential pathways for further application development.
Attendees will learn:
- Why Clean Energy is a priority focus area for ESA Space Solutions
- Details on the invitation to tender & how to apply
- Industrial context to the challenges of production, storage and distribution of green hydrogen for each of the sectors.
