But the use of hydrogen has never reached its potential as a renewable fuel, mostly because its production process drives up the cost. In order for hydrogen to be a viable source of clean energy, the cost of electrolysis needs to be much lower. Right now, we can’t think of all the use cases that make an electrolyzer efficient.

That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. Packetized energy management (PEM) allows the power grid to flexibly handle a varying supply of renewable energy.
