Green hydrogen
Hydrogen has several applications. It can be used directly in industrial processes and as an energy vector
Storage and transportation
Green hydrogen can replace fossil fuels in sectors that cannot be directly connected to the electricity grid.
ENERGY VECTOR
As an energy product, it is not a source of energy in itself. It’s used to store and transport existing energy. Therefore, the H2 will be a ‘green’ vector to the extent that the method used to generate energy is ‘green’.
Transport
Hydrogen can be transported to its final location by gas pipelines or in cylinders grouped in cages or racks that form mobile tanks. For this purpose, H2 is compressed to 300 bar.
Production
The main route of hydrogen production is the electrolysis of water
This is a process by which water is dissociated into hydrogen and oxygen by the application of an electric current in an electrolyser. For small systems, an integrated system in a containerised solution is chosen, producing hydrogen at 35 bar pressure.
