Can green hydrogen help heavy duty industries like steel decarbonise?
There’s a lot of hype around hydrogen right now. Proponents argue it is the most abundant element in the universe and key to unlock all our future energy needs.
While critics claim that it is far from being a silver bullet and will only work in some areas, but not others. They also point to the various processes being developed to use hydrogen to create energy and question whether they can be scaled up to meet demand.
One of these processes is called green hydrogen, which is made by using electricity from renewable sources to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.
Fredrik Mowill, the co-founder and chief executive officer of Oslo-based green hydrogen company Hystar said he believes the process of electrolysis utilizing electricity from renewable sources is the best way to produce emission-free hydrogen.
Mowill added he sees a “symbiotic relationship” between renewables and green hydrogen.
Fredrik Mowill, the co-founder and chief executive officer said:
We need each other.
“For renewables to continue to grow, we will need an energy balancing service for the grid and storage system. I believe green hydrogen will be the main storage solution over the medium term.”
