- Abstract
- Hydrogen produced from renewable electricity through Power-to-Hydrogen can facilitate the integration of high levels of variable renewable electricity (VRE) into the energy system. An electrolyser is a device that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity. When electricity is produced from renewable energy sources, the hydrogen becomes a carrier of renewable energy. Electrolysers can help integrate VRE into power systems, as their electricity consumption can be adjusted to follow wind and solar power generation, where hydrogen becomes a source of storage for renewable electricity. Although key hydrogen technologies (especially alkaline and PEM electrolysers) are still further maturing, we will show in this contribution how fossil parity for green hydrogen can already be achieved as of today in a number of sectors where hydrogen from renewables stands out as the best-performing option to meet climate targets and comply with local emissions regulations.
