         Speech ged.         Homan Town Hall event NortH2
         Introduction
         My  name      is Nienke Homan. |        am   Regional    Minister of the Province of      Groningen and concerned with the
         energy transition in         our province.    We    are part of the NortH2 project. It is the flagship project of       our
         Northern Netherlands            Hydrogen     Investment     Plan, which   we  published     in October last year.
         Personally,      |  am  member of the Green party GroenlLinks. So, you              might be asking what      | am  doing  here as
         green and left        politician presenting     at  an  event  by multinational    companies?
         Transition and         triple helix
         Well,   we are      very fortunate to have in the Northern Netherlands              a group of    closely collaborating companies,
         governments, and knowledge institutes, that share the ambition and the drive                         to create a large scale
         hydrogen ecosystem. We all see the unique possibility in the region                    to  accomplish that, demonstrated by a
         committed project pipeline with over 50 hydrogen projects.
         The commitment of the different stakeholders is very important. There is                        no transition without
         commitment. That needs close               triple  helix organization. The transition also results in integration of various
         sectors    as for    example    power and gas, where         existing boundaries     are  removed and     relationships adapted.
         Another     important element          is that a  transition is  by its nature vague and       ambiguous.   In the  beginning,  it
         might    be hard to determine your role and position               as  actor in the  arena   of stakeholders. This requires
         outside-the-box         thinking and also a certain courage to take position. To be successful, a clear vision is
         needed for      shaping today's policies. Therefore, it is necessary to make the transition as concrete as possible
         and to    show how the problems can be solved. We need to show images of the system of the future.
         Importance         to the  region
         What is the        position of the province of Groningen? In the Northern Netherlands, we have an intrinsic
         motivation      to green our energy supply. We are an energy region since the sixties, exporting natural gas                     to
         North-Western Europe. The energy sector                  provides   20 000  jobs  in the   region. However, change      is needed
         due to the     earthquakes       in  our  region and for climate      reasons.
         Hydrogen      is   part of this change. It offers      us the  possibility to  be a  frontrunner which     brings  us a quicker
                                                                                                                                             2190

         energy transition and the       possibility to retain current jobs and even attracting new jobs. The frontrunner
         potential    was  recognized by the Fuel Cell Hydrogen Joint Undertaking as the "HEAVENN" project was
         awarded with      a grant. The project is the starting point for the creation of the first Hydrogen Valley in the        EU.
         It was  for  a reason   that we were     recognized   as  first Hydrogen Valley. Namely,   we   have a unique potential
         due to   our  location and    our  assets.
         We still have the assets of the       gas-sector in the region. Gasunie has an extensive gas infrastructure with the
         capacity to transport molecules to the region, to the Netherlands and abroad. This potentially provides us
         access   to  European hydrogen offtake markets           as for  example the German Ruhr-area. Besides that, we have
         28 salt  caverns   in our  region. These    can  be converted to     large scale hydrogen storage facilities. HyStock is
         already working on that. Furthermore, we have the knowledge institutes and human capital in the region
         which possess knowledge on gas and hydrogen trading, transport, and innovation. We have an established
         ecosystem with gas expertise in place and are a proven energy research and innovation hub that builds on
         long-standing innovation. The expertise in gas trading, transport, and innovation plays a vital role in
         determining the competitiveness and position of a hydrogen ecosystem in the emerging European economy
         in the long run. Last but not least, we have physical space available at strategic locations for hydrogen
         production at industrial hubs, regional off-take markets and large offshore wind potential offshore north of
         the Northern Netherlands.
         NortH2 in international context
         As  already mentioned, | consider NortH2 as the flagship project of our regional hydrogen ambitions. But
         NortH2    brings much more on the table than regional importance. The national government sees the
         potential of hydrogen as well. Unfortunately, it has not yet led to adequate large scale funding programs as
         has been established by for example Germany and France. Nevertheless, the capacity of4 GigaWatt
         electrolysis NortH2 aims to realize in 2030 corresponds to the 3-4 GigaWatt electrolysis target in the Dutch
         climate agreement. So by realizing NortH2, the 2030 hydrogen targets of the Dutch Climate agreement are
         accomplished accordingly. Doing so, the hydrogen economy in the Netherlands will be kickstarted, already
         contributing to green recovery in the upcoming years.
         Considering the European perspective,           the EU has launched its ambitious Green Deal. It wants to become
         the sustainable world leader and considers          hydrogen as one of its strategic value chains for the future's EU
         industry competitiveness. We live in a European Union who wants to become world leader in hydrogen
         technologies. It does not want to make the same mistakes a decade ago with the solar panels where China
         won the race. At the same time, the USA is weakening as world power. For that reason, the European
         Commission has set up the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance to identify how hydrogen can be rolled out in
         the EU and which barriers need to be eliminated.
         The target in the     European Hydrogen Strategy         is to have 40 GigaWatt of electrolysis in place in 2030. NortH2
         would hence amount to 10% of the green             hydrogen production in the EU, potentially the future world leader
         in hydrogen. Hence, also in       the  European and global perspective, NortH2 is a very significant project. The
         breakthrough will be here.
         Thus,   we   might sometimes be modest in Groningen and tell you that it is significant or substantial...
         But what     we really want to say is that with both the climate challenge and economic challenge we now face,
         you  are  working on a unique project, part of a unique period ina unique global context!
