Energy Storage, Green Hydrogen & Oxygen Production
Data on different shaft and production sizes will appear here shortly.
Currently, the 1st version of a roadmap is being prepared.
The situation is worldwide similar.
Here as example some German figures:
Since the end of 2021, German offshore wind farms have generated 7.8 GW of electricity per year, which is about 12% of Germany’s total wind power generation, or the output of 6 nuclear power plants.
According to current plans, offshore power generation alone is expected to increase fivefold to 40GW by 2035 (approx. 22 nuclear power plants).
By 2045, 70GW are planned (approx. 55 NPPs).
Solutions are required that can use and store very large amounts of MW of unneeded energy, e.g. night and weekend electricity from wind turbines (Power-to-X technology). Battery farms are not suitable for such large quantities, require a lot of space, precious raw materials and are expensive to maintain.
Electrolysis is a simple and efficient technique to produce green hydrogen as well as oxygen at the same time from the surplus (green) electricity. The hydrogen can be used for industrial applications, mobility and power generation, the oxygen as a technical gas. A flame of hydrogen and oxygen burns about 30% hotter than the combination of natural gas and ambient air. Among other things, this can relieve the burden on industries that require very large quantities of combustible gas.
Alternatively, fuel gas can be produced directly by adding carbon (methanation). This is a major step toward decarbonization. erzeigt werden. Dies ist ein großer Schritt in Richtung Dekarbonisierung.
The goal of this website is to build a community of interest in the subject of electrolysis shaft system according to D.I.G. (see right).
