Preem and Vattenfall will also review the potential of producing green hydrogen gas by utilizing electricity from hydro and wind power, which give emissions that have very little impact on the climate. Preem and Vattenfall will set up a work group and pilot study which are financed by both parties.

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) produce the highest efficiencies of any electrical generation, above combustion engines, gas turbines or other fuel cells. In an SOFC electrolysis system, fuel cells convert excess power from renewable generation to turn water into hydrogen, addressing intermittency and storage issues for wind and solar.

Total emissions over the lifetime of an electric vehicle are considerably lower than those of an internal combustion engine. Second, the use of renewable electricity. This is the case at our gigafactory in Europe, which relies on wind energy, and it’s also what we plan for our soon-to-come plant in Canada.
