Why Work with Hydrogen?

Hydrogen: A Clean Energy Carrier

One of the greatest advantages of hydrogen is that it is a clean energy carrier. When hydrogen is used as a fuel in a fuel cell, it combines with oxygen to produce electricity, water, and heat. This process releases only water vapor, which means it does not contribute to air pollution or carbon dioxide emissions. This makes hydrogen a very attractive alternative to fossil fuels, which are the major sources of greenhouse gases and climate change.

Production of Green Hydrogen

Hydrogen can be produced in several ways, but the most sustainable method is through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy, such as solar and wind power. This process is called green hydrogen production because it does not generate any carbon dioxide emissions. By using surplus energy from renewable sources to produce hydrogen, we can also store energy and balance the power grid, which is crucial for managing the intermittency of solar and wind power.

Versatile Applications

Energy Storage

One of the most promising uses of hydrogen is energy storage. Since hydrogen can be stored for long periods and used when needed, it can act as a buffer against variations in renewable energy production. This means that hydrogen can help ensure a stable and reliable energy supply, even when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing.

Transportation Sector

Hydrogen also has the potential to revolutionize the transportation sector. Fuel cell vehicles, including cars, trucks, trains, and even airplanes, can be powered by hydrogen. These vehicles have longer ranges and faster refueling times compared to battery electric vehicles, making them particularly suitable for heavy transport and long journeys. Additionally, they help reduce emissions from the transportation sector, which accounts for a significant portion of global carbon dioxide emissions.

Industrial Processes

Industries such as steel production and chemical manufacturing are difficult to decarbonize because they have traditionally relied on fossil fuels. Hydrogen can replace coal and natural gas in these processes, drastically reducing carbon dioxide emissions. For example, hydrogen can be used in the direct reduction of iron ore to produce steel without emitting carbon dioxide.
