Learn MoreVerdant Earth Technologies general manager sustainable energy Mike Haywood told Stockhead that while batteries are purely storage mechanism, hydrogen cells can produce electricity for much longer periods of time and were equal to transport fuels for baseload power.
This approach offers a clean and cost-effective alternative, even when factoring in the hydrogen solar energy storage for transportation to end-users. 3,600 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity will be needed to produce 70 million tons of electrolytic hydrogen every year.
By using hydrogen solar panels you might also be able to sell the H2 produced and earn something extra from your solar system. Currently, the majority of hydrogen, totaling around 70 million tons annually, comes from fossil fuels, contributing to about 2% of coal demand and 6% of the total natural gas consumption worldwide.
Under the optimistic cost scenario, the hydrogen storage achieves comparable performance as the battery storage. However, it should be noted that the studied case has strong seasonal mismatch between production and load, which favors hydrogen storage because it is advantageous in long period storage.
The hydrogen will then need to be converted into electricity in the fuel cell, which results in a further loss of efficiency. Taken together, FCEVs are only between 25% to 35% efficient. While hydrogen is likely to remain more inefficient compared to batteries, it does have some significant advantages over its competitor.
At night, or when the power provided by the photovoltaic panels during the day is insufficient to fulfil the load requirement, the fuel cell is employed to convert the chemical energy of hydrogen to electricity. The electrolyzer, hydrogen tank, and fuel cell all function as a storage system.
