Terawatt scale green hydrogen production in focus

The industry is talking about terawatts. The engineering is still learning how to get there.

WHEC 2022

The conference news feed carried an item on accelerating green hydrogen production to terawatt scale. The phrase is ambitious: it implies a manufacturing and deployment effort far beyond current electrolyser capacity.

Reaching that scale would require cheaper stacks, faster permitting, abundant renewable electricity, better water management and a supply chain that can deliver components on time. It would also require a market for the hydrogen, whether in industry, transport or power.

The item reflected a shift in the conference conversation from whether electrolysis works to how quickly it can be manufactured and installed.
