However, it still has a way to go before it becomes even close to market standard. Arguing its benefits for electric grid stability during modernization could be focal in transforming green hydrogen into a well-known and discussed contender for stabilizing eco-conscious energy to meet modern demands.
Energy Storage
Green hydrogen targets are pivotal for influencing energy storage integration and expansion. Systems may transfer excess renewable energy from generators like solar panels and hydropower into electrolyzers to produce green hydrogen. Tanks and underground reservoirs receive extra fuel for later dispersal.
Regulatory bodies acknowledge the potential behind hydrogen storage, which is why the Advanced Clean Energy Project received a loan from the Department of Energy for $504.4 million to build the largest storage facility in the world. It will bolster U.S. efforts catalyzed by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill.
Load Shifting
Other renewable energy sources become more reliable with hydrogen as a supplement and storage filled to the brim, which helps with load shifting. Having hydrogen at the ready in resilient banks alleviates grid pains when usage spikes by pulling from these reserves to keep services uninterrupted. Hydrogen has a longer storage time compared to other energies.
Load shifting is also critical during natural disasters, as an upgraded grid will seamlessly transfer required energy to in-need areas. Backups are essential for reframing the reputation of renewable energy into one that is more reliable and consistent, no matter how much electricity and energy citizens need.
