💡 Green hydrogen: more complex than assembling Legos! 🌿 As we strive towards a sustainable energy future, the importance of green hydrogen cannot be overstated. However, the road to fully realizing its potential is not as simple as snapping together building blocks. The challenges faced in projects like Kuqa highlight the intricate nature of green hydrogen production. From the control of electrolyzers to the quality of electricity from renewables, every aspect requires meticulous attention and expertise. Automation, harmonics, power continuity – these are just a few of the hurdles that electrical engineers must overcome in designing efficient green hydrogen projects. If powering electrolyzers with challenging electricity, the flow ccontrol has also proeved to be difficult. Not only the automation needs to regulate the electrolyzer but also the flow of water, hydrogen and oxygen. All together, the process control complexity has been underestimated in many green hydrogen projects from 2020 to 2023 designs. Learning from past mistakes, we must integrate best practices and innovative solutions to power the energy of the future. Let's work together to navigate the complexities and pave the way for a greener, more sustainable world. 🌍💚 #GreenHydrogen #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #Innovation #FutureOfEnergy https://lnkd.in/gjXAE8vS

Blue Hydrogen Uses More Water Than Green Hydrogen 🚰🟢🔵 One of the main problems raised regarding green hydrogen is that it requires a large amount of water. Somewhat surprisingly though, the production of blue hydrogen actually requires more water, or a very similar amount of water, when compared with the production of green hydrogen. Perhaps even more surprisingly, the water requirement for producing black and brown hydrogen is significantly higher than for green hydrogen, and the water requirement for grey hydrogen production is not as far behind green hydrogen as one might expect, though it is still a significant gap. In my opinion, the question that we should be asking is not 'how much water is needed to produce the amount of green hydrogen we need?', but is instead 'how much more water is needed to produce the amount of green hydrogen we need?'.   There is no doubt that the water consumption of green hydrogen is a concern, especially in water scarce regions and especially as we see projects scale up into the GW range. However, there could still be ways to solve this problem or reduce the impact, for example by using desalination plants or purifying waste water, which is unlikely to add much cost to each kilogram of hydrogen produced. I covered this in my post here: https://lnkd.in/em3RnRkt. Additionally, the increased demand for water from green hydrogen production will likely be somewhat offset by decreases in grey hydrogen production and a reduction in fossil fuel use, which currently requires huge amounts of water globally.   Below is a graph showing the average water requirements for different hydrogen production methods using data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the figures are for the amount of water withdrawn, rather than the amount consumed and are based on using tap water. Greater volumes are required if using sea water or wastewater, due to the additional pre-treatment required.   The different 'colours' of hydrogen are explained in my post here: https://lnkd.in/ejQmd5ny   Sources Irena Report: Water for Hydrogen Production: https://lnkd.in/e-997rVa

Read our latest NexantECA blog by Biorenewable Insights Manager, Steven Slome - https://hubs.ly/Q02hxtQ90 "Among the diverse routes to lowering GHG emissions, Green Hydrogen is perhaps the one with the greatest long-term potential. Hydrogen produced from renewable electricity is – technically at least – among the most attractive options for decarbonizing transport fuels, industry, chemicals production, gas grids and a host of other sectors. The primary barriers to its uptake at present are availability and cost. However, as with some other decarbonization options, there is potential for a key byproduct of the Green Hydrogen production process – oxygen – to significantly improve its production economics."

🌿 Exploring Clean Hydrogen Production Pathways: A Roadmap to Net Zero 🌿 The future of clean energy hinges on our ability to innovate and scale hydrogen production. Hydrogen Europe’s latest report dives deep into the various pathways to produce clean hydrogen, each with its unique benefits and challenges. Why is this important? Achieving Net Zero by 2050 requires a massive scale-up in clean hydrogen production. Current capacities are just a fraction of what’s needed. This report outlines the potential and hurdles of different hydrogen production technologies, providing a comprehensive roadmap for policymakers and industry leaders. Key Takeaways: Water Electrolysis: Promises significant cost reductions and integrates well with renewable energy systems. However, it faces challenges in cost competitiveness and scalability. Reforming with Carbon Capture: A mature technology that can rapidly deliver low-carbon hydrogen. Yet, it relies heavily on natural gas and CO2 infrastructure, which limits its geographical potential. Methane Splitting: Offers zero direct emissions and produces valuable solid carbon by-products. Its scalability is tied to natural gas availability and the market for solid carbon. Biowaste-to-Hydrogen: Utilizes local biowaste, promoting local decarbonization and carbon removal. However, it competes with other biomass uses and is limited by feedstock availability. Non-Biological Waste-to-Hydrogen: Addresses waste management issues while producing hydrogen. It’s scalable but depends on CO2 transport and storage infrastructure. Challenges Ahead: Regulatory Barriers: A clear GHG accounting framework is missing, delaying deployment. Infrastructure Needs: Hydrogen and CO2 transport infrastructure are critical for scaling. Feedstock Availability: Competition for feedstock and local availability can limit production. The path to a sustainable hydrogen economy is complex but achievable. It requires coordinated efforts in policy, technology development, and infrastructure investment. Let’s drive the conversation forward and work together to unlock the full potential of clean hydrogen. #HydrogenEconomy #CleanEnergy #NetZero #SustainableFuture #EnergyTransition Share your thoughts below!

Green hydrogen is emerging as the potential 'new oil,' driving global economies towards a sustainable future and offering a solution to decarbonize sectors like steel, chemicals, and shipping. Efforts are underway globally to shift from grey hydrogen, produced from fossil fuels like coal and natural gas, to green hydrogen sourced from low-carbon sources. Market projections indicate substantial growth, with the green hydrogen market expected to reach $30B by 2030. But infrastructure limitations pose challenges, prompting collaborative efforts among nations and companies to scale up production and storage capabilities. The advantages of hydrogen as an abundant, renewable, and non-polluting resource are clear, yet its production remains costly. As green hydrogen gains momentum, it promises to reduce production costs and emissions for manufacturers, drive international partnerships, and position itself as the energy of the future. #GreenHydrogen #Sustainability #EnergyTransition
