Electrolysis for H2
Background
Hydrogen is currently on the energy strategy of all major governments of the world and electrolysis of water using electrolysers coupled with renewable energy supply is one promising route/pathway that many are following. But what are the challenges along the way? This section dives deep into some of these challenges.
Some of the research/technical questions that needs addressing are:
Is electrolysis of water using electrolysers coupled with renewable energy supply the only way to produce 'Green Hydrogen'?
Can every nation indeed be able to produce hydrogen by themselves and thus eliminate reliance on other nations for this fuel? How will hydrogen production interact with available water nexus?
Will there be another disruptive technology that will usurp water electrolysis?

Green hydrogen investment decision - Basic flowchart
Green hydrogen investment decisions are often driven by policy optimism rather than rigorous assessment of local conditions. This insight cuts through that noise with a practical decision flowchart that walks investors and project developers through the key questions: Is there surplus renewable electricity? Is it cost-competitive? Is there existing infrastructure? Is there a committed offtake market? The flowchart is designed to reach a clear preliminary go / no-go position in minutes — and to identify exactly which conditions need to change before investment becomes viable.
