“What hydrogen can contribute to energy storage”
Die Welt
Hamburg-based energy provider HanseWerk operates one of the most modern electrolysis plants in the world, Olaf Preuss writes in Die Welt. The key technology can be used to store energy by converting electricity generated by wind and solar sources into hydrogen. The HanseWerk facility can produce up to 290 cubic meters of hydrogen per hour. Hydrogen could play a key role in the energy supply of the future. As a storage medium, hydrogen could help stabilise the fluctuating production of electricity from wind and solar power plants, the article says.
