17 Feb 2021: These following sentences are from an article from Ms Güllü Beydilli “The path of green hydrogen” (article from 25 May 2020, https://engineered.thyssenkrupp.com/en/green-hydrogen/) and explain very good the advantages of this green technology not only to replace fuel and to drive cars. Green hydrogen – the light molecule H2 - can be stored and transported. We may be aware and know that the digitalisation of our lives constantly needs energy as well!
“The prerequisite for green hydrogen is its’ production, aka the water electrolysis, by using electricity from sustainable sources. To ensure a constant and reliable supply of electricity from green energy sources, the surplus electricity from wind power plants & solar plants must be storable for later use.”
„The electricity from green sources is used for water electrolysis to split water molecules and produce hydrogen. This hydrogen can in turn be used as energy storage, stored in tanks or even underground caves and transported via pipelines, tankers or trucks. Thanks to hydrogen technology, green energy plants can be used independently of environmental conditions and thus become more reliable. Hydrogen technology offers renewable energy plants the possibility to store surplus energy produced under favourable weather conditions. Renewable energies and green hydrogen technology are therefore mutually beneficial.
Modern hydrogen technology can thus make a significant contribution to a successful energy transition.”
