The green hydrogen market has been a tough nut to crack, and it got a lot tougher here in the US after federal energy policy took a sharp U-turn last year. Still, the technology continues to evolve as a replacement for the traditional hydrogen supply chain, which consists of natural gas and coal. In addition, innovators are spotting new demand opportunities, enabling them to fill energy gaps that other power-producing resources have left open.
The Green Hydrogen Alternative
The California-based green hydrogen startup HyWatts is one example, having surfaced on the CleanTechnica radar last week in connection with a new EV charging plan that focuses on charging station reliability in off-grid sites and other diverse locations.
HyWatts is also aiming at the booming data center space. In the meantime, deploying green hydrogen systems for off-grid battery-powered EV charging is an area of focus. The idea was put into practice by the Extreme E branch of the Formula E EV racing organization several years ago. Another example comes from Texas A&M University, which is participating in a green hydrogen EV charging station study with partners in Qatar.
