SHE Task - HERO greenhouse
Using HERO, energy can be produced reliably from any location, including remote communities. This reduces the need for connection to the grid and creates the potential for decentralised power. It can reach more than 700 degrees Celsius in minutes, producing steam that can reliably power turbine-driven baseload and peaking power. HERO addresses the volatility inherent in the existing energy system via its ability to provide clean dispatchable power on demand. Through its own demand for green hydrogen, it also creates a reliable source of income for renewable energy.
Green Hydrogen is a technology based on the generation of hydrogen, which is universal, light and highly reactive fuel. Through a chemical process known as electrolysis. This method uses an electrical current to separate the hydrogen from the oxygen in water. If this electricity is obtained from renewable sources we will, therefore, produce energy without emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Therefore giving it the term “green Hydrogen”.
Green hydrogen can be dangerous to the environment. It is the most abundant molecule in the universe, but it is not present on Earth in its free form. It must first be produced.
That can be done cleanly by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity from solar and wind power. But the cheaper and more prevalent method is to extract it from natural gas or coal, which emits carbon dioxide and locks us into further exploitation of fossil fuels. Projects touting hydrogen’s green credentials often rely on sequestering waste CO2 from its production. This has shown that Green Hydrogen might not be as green as it is made out to be.
