摘要

Electric utilities and independent power producers are positioned askey players to help speed cost reductions for green hydrogen, a fuelpredicted to become pivotal in decarbonizing the US economy, expertssaid Feb. 10.The opportunity lies in co-locating renewable power facilities withelectrolyzers — energy-intensive systems that break water intohydrogen and oxygen through a process called electrolysis — toproduce a carbon-free liquid fuel that contains about one-third of thesame energy as natural gas.
