What is Hydrogen?

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, but it is rarely found in its pure form on Earth. It is commonly produced from natural gas or electrolysis of water, with the latter method being the preferred approach for green hydrogen production. Green hydrogen is produced using renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power, ensuring that the process is environmentally friendly.

Clean Energy with Versatility

One of the key advantages of hydrogen as a green energy source is its versatility. It can be used in various sectors, including transportation, industry, and power generation. Hydrogen fuel cells, for example, can power electric vehicles, emitting only water vapor as a by-product. This makes hydrogen an attractive alternative to traditional fossil fuel-powered vehicles, as it offers zero-emission transportation.

In addition to transportation, hydrogen can also play a crucial role in decarbonizing industries such as steel, cement, and chemicals. By replacing fossil fuels with hydrogen in industrial processes, we can significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions and move towards a more sustainable future.

Green Energy Storage and Distribution

One of the challenges in transitioning to renewable energy sources is the intermittent nature of solar, wind power and hydro power. Hydrogen can act as an excellent energy carrier and storage medium, enabling us to store excess renewable energy and use it when needed. By converting surplus electricity into hydrogen through electrolysis, we can create a renewable energy reservoir that can be easily transported and distributed.

Additionally, hydrogen can be transported through pipelines or stored in tanks, providing a flexible and scalable solution for energy distribution. This opens up the possibility of building comprehensive hydrogen infrastructure, similar to existing natural gas networks, ensuring a reliable and accessible energy supply. This is what Hydrogen BC is hoping to achieve in Stewart, BC.
