Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

They are highly automated production islands that directly convert wind energy to hydrogen, with a few of them processing the gas into fuels and other goods. In these clusters, the wind turbines are integrated with electrolyzers that generate hydrogen from desalinated seawater. US $5 PER KILOGRAM Cost of green hydrogen today.

Researchers Aim to Decarbonize Chemical Industry by Electrifying It

Cars That Think

We are able to model how these reactions would be implemented in the chemical plant and we are able to consider how the grid and chemical plant would work synergistically together.” In 2020, fossil-based hydrogen supplied nearly all hydrogen demand (90 megatons) in the chemical and refining industries — hydrogen’s largest consumers.
