Advantages
• Set up cheap hydrogen petrol stations wherever there is a gas grid
• 30-40% less CO2 emissions for grey hydrogen cars, cleaner transport
• High returns for petrol stations 1.5€ production price vs 4€ sales price per
k.g. of hydrogen. Thereby incentivizing private investors to invest into new
hydrogen refueling stations.
• Solving the chicken and egg problem for hydrogen cars Introducing a
proportional tax on petrol and a subsidy on hydrogen cars. Currently petrol
cars are taxed on a lot of petrol cars and there are only few hydrogen cars,
thus in the beginning subsidies can be budget proportionally high.
• Stimulating and opening up a new market for clean hydrogen, places like
Chile, Greenland and Australia are seeking new markets for their WIND2G
and PV2G. Since electrical production of renewables in these countries are
2-4 times higher it compensates for the 50% energy losses to convert it into
hydrogen and 20% transport losses.
• Integrating renewables into the gas grid, allowing the gas grid to function
like a storage system for hydrogen, thereby balancing the electrical grid
and enabling an increased % of renewable sources to be sourced into the
system. When there is oversupply of renewables the cheap electricity can
be converted to cheap hydrogen.
