Green Hydrogen: A Briefing for Land Managers

View original source ↗Read source document ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

Decarbonization goals for the U.S. are emphasizing reliance on clean hydrogen produced from renewable resources. Hydrogen can be produced by splitting water, stored, transported, and converted to energy or chemicals. These activities require land, water, and energy. This fact sheet provides insight for federal and state land managers on the resources required to facilitate clean hydrogen production and related activities.

Opportunities and Implications for Low-Cost Hydrogen Production from Water Electrolysis in a Decarbonizing Power Sector

Increased deployment of renewable power generation such as wind and solar photovoltaics along with electrification of transportation and other sectors are driving changes in the operation and economics of the electric power sector. Simultaneously, efforts to decarbonize other sectors of the economy such as steelmaking and heavy duty transportation will require significant amounts of electricity to drive electrons to molecules processes. Hydrogen production via water splitting electrolysis is a key near-term technology for decarbonization that interfaces between the power sector and decarbonization efforts in industrial sectors. This poster examines the implications for increased deployment of water electrolyzers in a rapidly evolving energy system. The economic opportunities for low-cost hydrogen production from electrolysis that are facilitated by highly renewable grids will be examined and discussed. Durability, cost, and operational strategies for electrolyzers interacting in these future energy systems are key to enabling hydrogen at scale. This poster will overview these considerations and ongoing work within the U.S. Department of Energy’s H2NEW consortium that is focused on addressing them.
