The scientific process used to create green hydrogen is electrolysis. In other words, green electricity is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Renewable electricity is generated from wind farms or solar centres and transmitted to the grid or directly to electrolysers.
Electrolysis involves splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen with the help of electricity. Electrolysis produces renewable hydrogen if powered by green energy.
We can use renewable hydrogen in industry or to power medium- to heavy-duty transport. We can also use it to create other green fuels – for shipping, aviation, or industrial use in fertilisers, among other things.
One third of global carbon emissions come from industry and heavy transport. While we have the science for producing green hydrogen and green fuels to decarbonise these sectors, the challenge is to:
At Ørsted, we like a challenge. We’ve set our sights on creating a world that runs entirely on green energy, after all. Using our experience as the global leader in offshore wind, we’re moving full speed ahead to accelerate deployment of Power-to-X.
We have projects underway in Europe and the US. By 2025, our FlagshipONE facility in Sweden will start producing 50,000 tonnes of e-methanol every year – green fuel that will enable vessels to sail carbon-free.
Get passionate about green electrons and water molecules
Will we – government, industry, society, consumers, voters – support and uphold the marriage of the green electron and the water molecule? Be inspired by Olivia Breese's TED Talk. You'll see green hydrogen in a whole new light – and end up invested in a true love story.
