In the past couple of years, the conversation about hydrogen’s role in the decarbonization of the energy sector has shifted from how it can be done to when it will be done.
Decarbonization goals, decreasing costs of renewable electricity, and improved integration into more significant renewables are driving the demand for hydrogen. This will soon translate to an increase in demand for relevant infrastructure.
Most of the attention today is on major hydrogen hub projects and their role in developing the hydrogen infrastructure backbone and reducing the cost of clean energy and power. A big part of decreasing renewable electricity costs is having a sustainable and comparatively low-priced hydrogen production and distribution system. This is where distributed hydrogen production comes in.
At Modern Electron, we have been laser focused on this objective, creating technologies that convert natural gas into hydrogen at scale. But in this article, we will explore the industry as a whole to better understand how it’s evolving.
