As the fight against climate change becomes more critical with each passing year, the global population continues to come under tremendous pressure to drastically slow down global warming and accelerate the rate of decarbonisation.
It is now imperative that governments, NGOs and the private sector dedicate themselves to the rapid energy transition that will help to mitigate climate change.
One business to grasp the nettle is InterContinental Energy (ICE). They are one of the pacesetters navigating the development of clean energy and have assembled the largest and most advanced portfolio of green hydrogen projects worldwide.
The creation of green hydrogen - made possible when hydrogen is extracted from seawater using renewable energy, could prove crucial as the planet attempts to get to grips with the current climate emergency.
“The beauty of green hydrogen is that by making it with renewables, it’s completely free of greenhouse gasses, if you use it as a fuel,” said ICE President, Alicia Eastman. “So you can burn it, you can use it in an internal combustion engine and you can also use it in a fuel cell and it has no greenhouse gas release into the atmosphere.”
The development of green hydrogen could potentially be shackled by an insufficient supply of wind and solar energy, the clean energy that is integral to the process.
The space required to build more wind and solar farms is substantial and therefore would require a creative solution. In 2014, ICE had a vision to harness the vast untapped potential of coastal deserts. As areas that benefit from copious amounts of sun and wind at different times of the day, they would prove ideal locations for the creation of mega scale clean energy projects.
Once produced, hydrogen is difficult to store and transport, but it is readily converted to ammonia, by adding nitrogen from the air. The ammonia is still green as all processes use renewable energy. Ammonia is easier to transport as it requires only ten bar pressure at room temperature and can be shipped at negative 33 degrees celsius. The green ammonia can then be used as a fuel or separated back into hydrogen and nitrogen.
“If you want to ship hydrogen, you have to ship it at negative 253 degrees celsius - that is 20 degrees above absolute zero. It is very difficult to keep the energy over any significant distance or period of time.”
ICE green hydrogen will not only boost the development of industries such as shipping, trucking, aviation, heavy manufacturing, and specialty chemicals, but also replace fossil fuels and reduce carbon emissions across these high-energy consumption sectors.
“There needs to be a lot of companies like us,” said Eastman. “The demand in the market and shipping alone is so gigantic, that we really need to have many more projects. We need to have our projects be executed and each phase has to continue and be expanded with more projects moving into the future.”
ICE is truly a pioneer of a fast moving global energy transition that will power a more sustainable future for everyone. It will also help the world to meet goals set out in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement.
