Converting all of today’s, fossil-fueled gray hydrogen production into the green form of the energy carrier would require 950 TW of electrolyzer capacity. With four to five PW of electrolyzer capacity expected by 2050, the European Patent Office and the IEA expect four different electrolyzer technologies to dominate the field.Alkaline water electrolysis, which involves two …
