Powering the Net-Zero Economy
Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, is key to the rapid decarbonization of our energy systems and to building a resilient, zero-carbon energy future. As a dense energy carrier, hydrogen is central to resolving the challenge of wind and solar intermittency, curtailment, grid balancing, short to long-term energy storage and zero-emission mobility. Its high heat of combustion can be harnessed for heat-intensive processes such as steel making, glass and ceramic manufacture. Green hydrogen, as a chemical feedstock can significantly reduce carbon intensity. And in our homes, hydrogen will ultimately replace natural gas to fire our domestic boilers. Moreover, the hydrogen economy offers many analogues with the hydrocarbon industry, offering the promise of an effective transition to a net-zero economy that not only draws on many of the existing skills of our workforce but can utilize elements of the existing asset base. The jobs of the new economy are here. Thor Hydrogen focuses on systems integration, pairing green hydrogen storage systems with existing and new-build renewables projects. By introducing hydrogen electrolysis, storage and fuel-cell systems, the commercial viability and stand-alone potential of renewable systems is dramatically altered. Since storing molecules is easier and more durable than storing electrons, hydrogen storage by far surpasses battery storage capabilities in terms of achievable duration and operation, offering enhanced availability in normal operations and high reliability for critical systems such as hospitals and emergency power & comms. Thor Hydrogen can make your renewable energy system more viable, reliable and available, delivering energy security and autonomy for rural and urban systems. Contact us to learn how green hydrogen can deliver true energy independence and bring the net-zero economy within our reach.
