The second episode in short
In Episode 2, Carola Ruse, Senior Vice President Business Unit Electrolyzer Solution at Bosch, talks about the potential of green hydrogen as a key enabler for achieving climate goals and the challenges of electrolysis for the energy transition and decarbonization.
Compared to other electrolysis technologies, PEM electrolysis stands out with higher power density, better energy efficiency, and high hydrogen output pressure. Offering maximum flexibility, minimal space requirements, and easy scalability, makes it a well-suited solution for the future.
Integrating them into the existing energy system and high costs are major challenges that must be overcome for the successful adoption of electrolysis. Despite this, Carola is convinced that the share of green hydrogen will increase significantly over the next year, forming a giant market.
The PEM Electrolysis Stack has a big advantage in terms of increased efficiency. This results from an optimal usage of renewable energy sources, making electrolysis an attractive option for hydrogen production.
Requirements and conditions for global green hydrogen production
-
The expansion and promotion of renewable energies contribute to creating a more efficient and resource-saving energy future. -
The development of an infrastructure for the production, storage, and distribution of hydrogen includes, for example, electrolysis plants, hydrogen tanks, pipelines, or fueling stations used for the transport and provision of hydrogen. -
Clear and long-term policy support and appropriate regulatory frameworks are needed to promote investments. -
Since the hydrogen industry is global oriented, international cooperation and coordination is important to establish standards, facilitate trade in hydrogen and support technology transfer.
