Green Hydrogen Carbon Intensity

On the carbon intensity of green hydrogen

Green hydrogen is an emerging energy source in recent years. It is crucial to the cause of carbon reduction. And the carbon intensity of green hydrogen is a key indicator to measure its purity and low carbon.

The production of green hydrogen mostly comes from the electrolysis of water from renewable energy sources. If you want to obtain low-carbon or even zero-carbon green hydrogen, you need to ensure that the energy used in the production process is pure and free of carbon emissions. If it involves fossil energy or the efficiency of energy conversion is not good, the intensity of green hydrogen will increase.

Looking at the world today, countries are competing for the field of green hydrogen. However, it is not easy to find the low carbon intensity of green hydrogen. First, the stability of renewable energy needs to be mentioned. The wind and rain are changeable, and the light and heat are intermittent, which makes the electrolysis process difficult to continue to be stable, which may increase the risk of carbon emissions. Second, the technology is not perfect. Energy conversion, storage, transportation and other links, losses still exist, and carbon emissions are also difficult to avoid.

Therefore, reducing the carbon intensity of green hydrogen is the first technological innovation. Develop high-efficiency electrolytic water technology, improve the energy conversion rate, and reduce the loss of intermediate links. Second, improve the renewable energy system. Build energy storage facilities to stabilize energy fluctuations and ensure that the production process continues to be low-carbon. Furthermore, establish strict standards. Clear the definition of green hydrogen carbon intensity, supervise enterprises to comply, and promote the healthy development of the industry.

Reducing the carbon intensity of green hydrogen is not only related to energy transformation, but also to global climate security. Everyone works together to move forward, so that green hydrogen can be pure, energy clean, and the world can grow.
