Is H2 production sustainable and efficient?

Is H2 production sustainable and efficient?

Green hydrogen ๐Ÿ’š is produced using renewable energy sources, such as wind ๐ŸŒฌ or solar power โ˜€, without any CO2 emissions โ›”. This makes it the most environmentally friendly option. Blue hydrogen ๐Ÿ’™ is produced from fossil fuels ๐Ÿ›ข, such as natural gas, but the CO2 released during production is captured and stored, reducing the environmental impact. Grey hydrogen ๐Ÿ–ค, on the other hand, is also produced from fossil fuels, but the CO2 emissions are not captured, leading to significant environmental burden ๐Ÿ‘Ž. The difference between these types of hydrogen lies in the production processes and the amount of CO2 emissions: green is completely clean, blue reduces emissions, and grey contributes to increased CO2 emissions. Watermeln ๐Ÿ‰ โšก always prefers using green hydrogen for its Hydrogen Generator.

There is some truth to this, as (excess) electricity can be better stored short-term in batteries๐Ÿ”‹. However, for larger volumes of electricity and longer periods, hydrogen production is also interesting to utilize excess renewable energy by converting it into hydrogen. This helps reduce grid congestion ๐Ÿ“Š by lowering the pressure on the power grid during peak production from renewable sources such as wind and solar โšก.
