2. Production of Green Hydrogen
Section outline
-
Chapter II - The Production of Green Hydrogen by Fabian Carels, HOOU (CC BY) In the first chapter, you learned why human-induced climate change threatens our future, what we can do to mitigate these changes and what role hydrogen may play in this. In the following chapters you will now learn and receive detailed information about hydrogen. The teaching module is oriented towards the value chain of hydrogen and follows it from production to use as an energy source.This chapter starts by summarising the most important facts on Hydrogen and Different Hydrogen Production Methods and comparing them regarding their respective CO2 emissions. Afterwards, the special role of green hydrogen for the success of the energy transition and the reduction of greenhouse gases will be discussed in more detail. In an excursus, the basics of generating electricity from Renewable Energies – the raw material for green hydrogen production - are presented. The last section focusses on technical details of Green Hydrogen Prodcution via Electrolysis. Comparisons between different electrolysis technologies are made and several examples of electrolysers in operation or planning stage in Northern Germany are displayed.The contents of this chapter are supplemented by lectures of experts from practice and science:- Stefan Müller; Enerparc AG - Status of PV Power Generation of large scale power plants
- Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andreas Reuter; Frauenhofer-Institute for Wind Energy Systems - Onshore wind power generation technology – Status and prospects
- Prof. Dr. Andreas Friedrich; German Aerospace Center (DLR) - Hydrogen production from electricity – Technological overview
