The scope of this work is to provide an overview on hydrogen valleys analyzing the critical aspects of their design and the key segments that constitute the framework of a hydrogen valley. At first, the current status of electricity grids is analyzed emphasizing the role of hydrogen on the increased renewable energy penetration. Next, the hydrogen valley concept is defined, whose development, operation and scale-up aims to gradually derisk hydrogen technologies. An overview of the announced global hydrogen valley projects is presented, illustrating the critical technologies that are involved in each project. The renewable energy source that is powering hydrogen production is a critical aspect of the valley and its integration aspects and characteristics are also highlighted.
