Distributed Low Cost Renewable Hydrogen Production Hydrogen in water has an amazing energy storage density. We estimate that only 10 liters of water is required to store enough solar energy in renewable hydrogen to power a typical American home consuming 10kWh/day of electricity. When hydrogen is used in a fuel cell for electricity production, water is produced and can be easily recycled for reuse. Therefore, the actual consumption of water for renewable hydrogen production is quite low. One of the most significant challenges in using hydrogen is transporting it to the point of use. Long haul transportation of hydrogen by trucks or pipeline remains technically and economically challenging. However, by enabling the low cost production of renewable hydrogen wherever there is water and sunlight, we can facilitate a distributed hydrogen production model without long haul transportation and delivery.
