Hydrogen roadmap

But how does it actually work?

Hydrogen gas (H2) is a promising and environmentally friendly energy carrier with various applications, including vehicle fuel, electricity storage, and industrial processes. One of the most commonly used methods to produce hydrogen is electrolysis, followed by high-pressure storage. Let's break it down step by step:

1. Sustainable energy sources such as solar and wind power are our energy source.

These sources are not depleted, cause minimal pollution, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. By producing hydrogen from these sustainable sources, we increase the capacity of sustainable energy production, address issues of overproduction, and provide remote areas with green power that was previously out of reach.

2. Electrolysis for Hydrogen Production

Electrolysis is a chemical process in which water (H2O) is split into hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2) using electrical current. This process takes place in an electrolysis cell, where water is immersed, and two electrodes, usually made of platinum or other catalytic materials, are installed.

3. High-Pressure Hydrogen Storage

After production through electrolysis, hydrogen needs to be stored for future use. A common method for hydrogen storage is at high pressure. Compressed hydrogen gas is stored in special tanks designed to withstand high pressure. Pressure levels typically range from 350 to 700 bar (5,000 to 10,000 psi), depending on the specific application. In our case, we use tanks with 300 or 500 bar.

4. Transport and Usage

The stored hydrogen gas can easily be transported to locations where it is needed, such as construction sites or festivals. Strict safety measures apply when using hydrogen gas. Watermeln has developed a special safety protocol for this and meets all relevant safety requirements. With the expertise of our specialists, we ensure that your project is carried out safely and successfully.
