The Hydrogen Stream: 2 GW green hydrogen project in Chile, new push from South Korea
Furthermore, the Indian government is proposing to mandate using green hydrogen in fertilizer and refining and Japanese automotive manufacturer Toyota wants to assemble integrated dual fuel cell (FC) modules in the United States.
Cheapest long-duration storage for systems with high renewables
National Renewable Energy Laboratory researchers have studied which tech offers the lowest levelized cost of energy to provide the US Western Interconnection grid with electricity when wind and solar are not available. They assumed 85% renewables penetration and determined that geologic hydrogen storage and natural gas combined-cycle plants with carbon capture storage are the cheapest options for 120-hour discharge applications.
India met 72% of H1 electricity demand with solar, wind
