Definition:
A process that uses electricity to produce hydrogen through electrolysis, storing it for later use in fuel cells to generate power.
Key Components:
- Electrolyzer
- Hydrogen storage tank
- Fuel cell system
Use Cases/Industries:
- Renewable energy storage
- Industrial hydrogen supply
- Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs)
Advantages:
- Long-duration energy storage
- Supports decarbonization efforts
- Can be transported as a clean energy carrier
Challenges:
- High energy losses in conversion processes
- Requires specialized infrastructure for hydrogen transport and storage
- Safety concerns due to hydrogen’s flammability
Related Terms:
Electrolysis, Fuel Cell, Power-to-Gas
Example:
Germany’s hydrogen storage pilot project integrates excess wind energy by converting it into hydrogen for later use in fuel cells.
