Danfoss – Green hydrogen must be used and produced wisely to harness its full potential

Danfoss

  • Green hydrogen must be produced efficiently to minimize the costs of production and demand for renewables.
  • Conversion of electricity to hydrogen currently creates an energy loss of roughly 30% but there are technologies available today to reduce this loss.
  • Efficient converters can increase the overall efficiency of green hydrogen production by roughly 1% – enough to power London for almost four years.

A new Danfoss Impact paper reveals that with hydrogen production set to consume more than half of today’s electricity demand by 2050, energy efficiency in its production is paramount.
