Hydrogen producation.

Ali, Dallia

Abstract

Hydrogen has an energy density of approximately 120 MJ/kg, almost three times more than diesel or gasoline, while Natural gas has 53.6 MJ/kg. In electrical terms, the energy density of hydrogen is 33.6 kWh/kg versus 12.14 kWh/kg for diesel. Hydrogen is a source of clean energy that can replace natural gas with no carbon emissions when burnt, and can generate clean electricity through a Fuel cell with water heat as by products and no carbon emissions. Hydrogen can be used as an energy carrier, stored and delivered where needed Green H2 as a form of renewable energy storage, allows clean fuel for transport or for making clean power and heat while absorbing intermittent power inputs, thus enabling more renewables integration into the grid while eradicating energy wasting, constraint payments and costs of updating the electricity network capacity. It also allows an added stabilizing capability that support grid, reduce its need for spinning reserve, avoid load shedding, provide peak demand support, and reduce transmission and distribution burden.
