Why is the strategic location of hydrogen energy so important?
On the one hand, from the perspective of reserves and energy efficiency, first of all, hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, and there is a large amount of hydrogen energy available for development in water resources. In the future, hydrogen will be one of the most convenient and cheapest sources of energy. Secondly, hydrogen has the highest calorific value among common fuels, up to 142KJ/g, which is about 3 times that of petroleum and 4.5 times that of coal. This means that, consuming the same quality of energy, the energy provided by hydrogen is the largest. Moreover, hydrogen energy can achieve true zero-carbon emissions without causing any pollution to the environment.
On the other hand, hydrogen energy is also more stable. Hydrogen is an excellent energy storage medium, which can be stored in high-pressure tanks in the form of gas and liquid, or in hydrogen storage materials in the form of solid phase. Moreover, the energy density of hydrogen energy storage is high, and it is a rare energy storage technology that can store more than 100 GWh.
Compared with other new energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics, which are generally subject to weather, and have natural volatility and unpredictability, hydrogen storage can solve the intermittent and fluctuating problems of solar and wind power generation.
In addition to large reserves, high energy, pollution-free, and more stable, hydrogen energy has a wide range of application scenarios. Hydrogen fuel cells can be supplied to heavy-duty trucks, trams, ships, drones, distributed power generation and other industries.
Because of the above characteristics, hydrogen energy is called the ultimate energy. It has many positive effects on energy conservation, energy efficiency improvement, and even the transformation of the energy structure.
