Hydrogen production from solar energy, environmental protection and safety
Published on:2016-11-15 Click:190As we all know, hydrogen is a kind of energy with very wide use and an important industrial raw material. It is widely used in food processing, petrochemical industry, fine organic combination, aerospace, metallurgical industry, electronic industry, etc. There are three main methods of hydrogen production: first, water gas method; 2、 Hydrogen production by electrolysis of water; 3、 Electrolytic salt water.
***Researchers from Berlin and the Netherlands have successfully stored 5% of solar energy in the form of hydrogen through chemical means after long-term research. Solar panels generate electricity through sunlight, and use the electricity generated by the panels to electrolyze water into hydrogen and oxygen. This method is not only environmentally friendly but also has no energy consumption, which is worth promoting!
The researchers said that the potential of this project is unlimited. In Germany alone, one hundred square meters of such a system can store six kilowatts of electrical energy in the form of hydrogen after receiving two hours of light. It can also be converted into biogas and used as fuel for natural gas powered vehicles.
