Refineries: Green Hydrogen can play a critical role in several key processes like Hydrocracking, Hydrotreating, and Desulfurization of the refining industry primarily aimed at improving the quality of petroleum products and reducing harmful emissions. As the push for cleaner fuels grows stronger, the demand for green hydrogen in refining is expected to increase, especially as refineries adapt to stricter environmental regulations and transition to processing bio-based feedstocks.
Fertilizers: Green hydrogen can play a transformative role in the fertilizer industry by providing a sustainable alternative to conventional hydrogen, which is currently produced from fossil fuels. By adopting green hydrogen, the fertilizer industry can significantly reduce its environmental footprint and align with the global transition towards renewable energy. This shift will not only decarbonize ammonia production but also contribute to more sustainable agricultural practices, ensuring a greener future for food production. Currently, ammonia production is responsible for nearly 2% of global CO₂ emissions due to its reliance on fossil fuels..
Power Generation: Green hydrogen can significantly contribute to power generation in several transformative ways, helping to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decarbonize the energy sector. Hydrogen as a clean fuel can be used for power generation, either through combustion or in fuel cells. Hydrogen blended with natural gas can be used in conventional gas turbines for electricity generation, this reduces the carbon emissions of existing natural gas power plants by replacing natural gas with a cleaner fuel.
Transportation: Green hydrogen has a significant potential to transform the transportation sector by offering a clean, efficient, and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Green hydrogen powered fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) use hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity and power an electric motor. FCEVs emit only water vapor and warm air, making them a zero-emission transportation option. FCEVs such as cars, SUVs, trucks, buses, and delivery vehicles offer longer driving ranges and faster refueling times compared to battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Hydrogen refueling typically takes about 3-5 minutes, similar to conventional gasoline vehicles, making it more convenient for long-distance travel.
Energy Storage: Green hydrogen offers a promising solution for energy storage, particularly in supporting renewable energy integration and grid stability. As energy systems transition away from fossil fuels, the ability to store excess renewable energy for later use is critical. Green hydrogen can play a key role in overcoming the intermittency challenges of renewable energy sources like wind and solar as they fluctuate daily and seasonally. Green hydrogen enables long-term storage of energy, making it possible to store excess electricity generated during periods of high renewable output (e.g., in the summer) and use it months later during periods of low output (e.g., in the winter). This is crucial for ensuring energy supply in regions with significant seasonal variations in renewable energy generation. Batteries, like lithium-ion, are effective for short-term energy storage (from hours to days), but hydrogen can be stored for weeks or even months, making it a viable option for balancing energy supply and demand over longer time periods.
Shipping Fuel: Green hydrogen can play a transformative role in decarbonizing the shipping industry, which currently relies heavily on fossil fuels like heavy fuel oil (HFO) and marine diesel, both of which contribute significantly to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollution. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set targets to reduce GHG emissions from shipping by at least 50% by 2050, making green hydrogen a promising solution. Ships can be powered by hydrogen fuel cells, which convert hydrogen into electricity through an electrochemical process, producing only water and heat as byproducts. This method enables zero-emission propulsion, making hydrogen fuel cells ideal for decarbonizing the shipping sector. Hydrogen-powered fuel cell ships are particularly promising for short- and medium-distance voyages, such as ferries and coastal vessels.
