The expert for hydrogen presented his figures with frightening precision, had the figures of the competing technologies and the contents of the latest EU decisions perfectly at hand, and thus gained the respect of those present, most of whom came from the electromobility corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you know, for example, that the first modern hydrogen filling station is already under construction in Bavaria, which also no longer has to contend with the famous pressure problem when several trucks have to be refueled one after the other?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company also builds a large-scale electrolyzer that works cleverly with renewable energies. The trick: the electrolyzer only works when the energy is not needed elsewhere or, as is often the case at present, cannot be dissipated because too much solar energy is available. Whether this will be effective? Brunner sees the model project primarily in the context of countries in the Middle East and elsewhere, where the many hours of sunshine make production particularly cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking of cheap: Saudi Amoco wants to produce hydrogen extremely cheaply. The kilowatt hour there costs just one cent. Thus, the energy input for 1 kg hydrogen (approx. 33 – 55 kWh) alone would cost as much there as the kWh for a German household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not at all. Energy production in industrialized nations like Germany is currently more than on the brink of collapse. Since the Germans withdrew from (local) nuclear energy, it has dawned even on the ideologists in the coalition that the purchase of nuclear power from France, which has increased significantly since then, is not very effective in the long run. Moreover, when there is an oversupply of renewable electricity, Germany even pays other countries bonuses for taking the surplus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, the much-vaunted social justice stands and falls with favorable prices for CLEAN energy. Germany is further away from this than ever because the sun and the wind don’t send a bill, but the price won’t go down, even after the shutdown of the last nuclear power plants – on the contrary. An increase has just been announced again.<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Dr.](\"https:\/\/archive.ioplus.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Podiumsdiskussion_BayWa-1004x753.jpeg\")
Am I now suddenly advertising hydrogen?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It’s the energy prices, dummy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
