The Green Hydrogen Revolution - Integrating Hydrogen Into Industrial Applications

The application and use of green hydrogen is expected to have significant potential to decarbonize industrial sectors and lead these sectors in energy transition towards a carbon neutral future. The primary hydrogen production methods are known as grey, blue, and green hydrogen, and are compared. An overview of the hydrogen electrolysis process, and a review of commercially available hydrogen electrolyzer technologies is provided. The key considerations for evaluating hydrogen electrolyzer modules are discussed. The Power-to-X industrial applications where hydrogen is used as either an intermediate or end product are discussed. Finally, the integration of electrolyzer module arrays into an industrial electrical distribution system, and the key electric power requirements and considerations are reviewed.
