MULTI PURPOSE - The same service station that provides freshly charged hydrogen batteries, doubles up as an energy store for the national grid of the country concerned. Why put in load levelling stations that only have one function? We hope this is a topic of discussion at the forthcoming UN COP 26 in Glasgow, Scotland in November 2021.
WHAT IS BLUE HYDROGEN ?
Blue hydrogen is hydrogen gas that is produced through steam methane reformation, much the same as Gray hydrogen, which typically uses natural gas as the feedstock, in other words converting a fossil fuel into a more useful energy carrier. It is cleaner than Brown hydrogen, but not as clean as Blue.
Blue hydrogen is a purportedly cleaner option, where the emissions from steam methane reformation are curtailed using carbon capture and storage. This process could roughly halve the amount of carbon produced, but it's still far from emissions-free. It is not climate friendly, or an efficient use of resources when it comes to cooling planet earth, compared to Green hydrogen.
