2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. Well, let's think. Most of the world’s hydrogen comes from deeply polluting methods.

The preparations for exclusively green electricity for a climate-friendly production in Europe are already well advanced. Thereby, we completely forego coal-based electricity and obtain our electrical energy from only renewable sources. Today, new plants in Europe are already planned with a CO2-neutral energy supply from the start.

When the electricity used for electrolysis comes from renewable sources like solar or wind power, the hydrogen produced is known as green hydrogen. Applications : Used in power plants, industrial heating processes, and transportation. However, these sources are intermittent, meaning they don’t produce energy consistently.

However, the raw materials for batteries are, in most cases, imported into China from Africa and refined before being exported to Europe. Automakers in Europe can lower their emissions by shortening the transport distance and capitalizing on the DRC’s hydroelectric powered grid and proximity to raw materials.
