hi this is your midweek reminder that to solving the #ClimateEmergency will mean deploying renewables on a massive, and I mean massive scale https://twitter.com/ftenergy/status/1283250329702760454
at high levels of renewable power there will be months when society needs power when the #renewables aren’t generating enough and times when renewables are making power society doesn’t need.
This is where #hydrogen storage and #sector coupling comes in.

basically by plugging a device called an “electrolyzer” into the renewables we can turn the renewable power into 100% carbon free (“green”) hydrogen at ~80-90% efficiency.
this is where the #decarbonization truly begins.

this green hydrogen fuel is a carbon free commodity that can be sold into a variety of markets and industries.
by using hydrogen as a fuel those industries are decarbonizing and eliminating emissions
here it’s being done with fertilizer production https://twitter.com/HydrogenCouncil/status/1283295233644597249?s=20

and #hydrogen gas can be stored indefinitely without losing energy value.
check this chart showing where energy storage technologies excel based on size & length of time the energy needs to be stored for

see how hydrogen is good for big energy systems and long durations?
that’s hugely critical and relevant to making #renewables a functional power source for grids.
plus this... common man..

ALSO see this epic list of industries that can accept green hydrogen in order too decarbonize (most of these can’t be decarbonized with batteries

there’s a lot more... perhaps a thread on that later...
but finally..
but if you enjoyed this thread or any others about h2 please share! this stuff isn’t for nerds but for everyone to learn about !
and if you want to follow more awesome h2 accounts... these ppl rock
