2. A hydrogen energy storage solution requires a method of storing the hydrogen. In addition to using traditional methods, such as low or high-pressure tanks, the hydrogen generated by the renewable energy assets can also be used in non-traditional ways, such as distribution via
a gas pipeline or truck, sold for hydrogen fueling, or used directly for industrial applications.
3. Electricity generation is the nal ingredient in most hydrogen energy storage solutions.
e stored hydrogen can be transformed back into electricity via a gas turbine, internal combustion engine, or fuel cell.
Energy storage is a hot topic in the renewable energy eld, but batteries alone will not be a viable long-term solution for large scale energy storage. Battery energy storage can relieve smaller short-term problems in managing power supply, but there will be extended periods of high demand or low supply, where batteries cannot meet the energy requirements. Hydrogen energy storage is an excellent solution for large scale long term energy storage. is technology will not only enable more investment in renewable energy assets, but increase stakeholders’ return on investment. Hydrogen could be the key to a 100 percent green energy future.
Everett Anderson has more than 30
