88-megawatt Canadian hydro-to-hydrogen plant to open in 2023

German multinational Thysenkrupp has won the contract to build and operate a huge hydro-electrolysis facility in Quebec, which will use one of the world’s most powerful electrolyzers to produce some 11,100 metric tons of green hydrogen annually.

I’m fairly certain liquid hydrogen isn’t green. It’s actually colourless.

Apart from that major fault with this scheme, the choice of hydro to provide the input energy seems a bit strange to me.

Wouldn’t more irregular sources like solar or wind make more sense?

Hydro should be base load style generation.

OTOH the ‘dro is Canada’s main form of renewable power

OK, I suppose solar does have a few drawbacks for this application in Canada.

They must have plenty of wind up there though.

Logistics also comes into play – if the hydro scheme is remote, the cost of installing a road is probably a lot cheaper than installing power lines.

Green hydrogen.

As opposed to colourless hydrogen?
