The first hydrogen plant for renewable energy storage in Greenland has been inaugurated. The plant is a test system which shall help provide suggestions for how hydrogen can be used for future renewable energy storage in the country. This way the hydrogen functions as a battery that stores energy for later use whenever needed.
