The latest whitepaper in the Danfoss Impact Series delves into the realm of green hydrogen, exploring its pivotal role in combatting carbon emissions within hard-to-abate sectors. While acknowledging the availability of necessary technologies for efficient hydrogen production, the document emphasizes the significance of a strategic approach to its production and consumption. In a notable move, the US Department of Energy has announced a substantial $7 billion investment in clean hydrogen hubs to accelerate the domestic market for low-cost clean hydrogen, aiming to produce three million tons annually. The whitepaper underlines the necessity of energy efficiency in green hydrogen production to ensure its sustainability, pointing out that current conversion processes incur a 30% energy loss which can be mitigated through existing technologies. Moreover, the potential of green hydrogen in managing seasonal electricity demand is highlighted, showcasing its effectiveness as a long-term energy storage option with minimal energy loss and low cost per MWh. While advocating for the prioritization of energy efficiency and direct electrification in reducing carbon emissions, the paper positions green hydrogen as a crucial player in the transition away from fossil fuels, especially in sectors like aviation and heavy industry. The sentiment towards green hydrogen remains positive, with an emphasis on its potential to enhance energy security and independence in America.
