愛爾蘭已經成為一個潛在的“強國”的綠色氫行業,有能力生產最便宜的綠色氫在歐洲,到2030年,據極光能源研究。然而,有障礙,需要解決愛爾蘭充分實現其潛力綠色製氫。全球業務負責人Kim Gunnelius凡爾納在芬蘭,愛爾蘭擁有突出優勢,比如其海上風能潛力和政治意願將綠色氫的氣候行動計劃。然而,缺乏“綠色”氫市場和政府補貼構成重大挑戰的需要。目前,世界上隻有一小部分的製氫來自可再生能源,與大多數產生少用可持續的方法,如天然氣和煤。Gunnelius強調環保的重要性,通過電解製氫,其中包括分裂從水中氫使用可再生能源,如太陽能和風能。報告顯示,綠色的氫將成為未來全球製氫的主要形式。綠色氫提供了幾個優勢其他能源。其能量密度使其對行業的吸引力和高功率的要求,包括交通部門,探索綠色作為一種零排放氫燃料。石油等能源密集型行業煉油廠、肥料生產商和鋼鐵廠也可以受益於綠色氫作為他們的目標是減少化石燃料的使用在他們的生產過程。 Moreover, green hydrogen has the potential to address one of the key challenges in the renewable energy sector—energy storage. It can be stockpiled during times of surplus renewable energy generation and used to balance the grid during periods of low production or high demand. While China leads the world in hydrogen production, with plans for significant expansion, countries like the United States and those in Europe are also investing heavily in green hydrogen initiatives. Ireland has taken steps to develop its green hydrogen ecosystem, including a supply chain partnership between Irish green energy company EIH2 and the ports of Cork and Amsterdam. However, the growth of Ireland’s green hydrogen economy hinges on its focus on renewables and the creation of an overall surplus of renewable-generated power. Currently, Ireland is not in a state of surplus, and significant government subsidies will be necessary to propel Ireland to “powerhouse” status in the green hydrogen sector. In conclusion, Ireland has the potential to become a major player in green hydrogen production, but there are challenges to overcome. The country’s advantages in terms of offshore wind potential and political support need to be leveraged effectively. The transition to green hydrogen requires increased production from renewable sources and government subsidies to ensure a surplus of renewable-generated power. By addressing these challenges and providing necessary support, Ireland can tap into the immense potential of green hydrogen and contribute to a more sustainable and decarbonized future.
