There is growing belief in the role of hydrogen in a cleaner future
Innovation Insights Brief World Energy Council 2019
Energy & Environmental Science Journal 2019 Issue 2
Fuel Cell EV’s have no impact
grid, and can be
refueled the same as ICE vehicles A key benefit: hydrogen power can be generated close to the point
no distribution network impact
Automotive applications are expected to be the major driver in hydrogen utilization. Hydrogen based electric mobility is here; widespread adoption simply needs realistic carbon pricing and removal of subsidies on fossil fuel based systems.
Prediction: 2040 “new H2 uses”
Innovation Insights Brief World Energy Council 2019
Green hydrogen is made when electricity is free or very cheap, and electricity grids are not impacted by hydrogen infrastructure.
* Battery Electric Vehicle
With almost 500,000 electric buses in China, the Chinese government has removed incentives on battery EV’s altogether, in favour of Fuel Cell EV’s
With higher power fuel cells, applications are expanding into port equipment, trains and ships
Hydrogen is the energy vector that harnesses many other technologies; aiding the decarbonization of transport, heating, industrial processes and power generation
Ongoing technology improvements in the generation, storage and transport of hydrogen will continue to expand its role in the energy system
PEM Fuel Cells can add value in flexible generation; while SOFC and other high-temperature fuel cell technologies can add value in baseload generation
