Série Transition énergétique – Quel avenir pour l’hydrogène et les piles à combustible?

Science and Technology on March 23rd, 2015

Transformer l'électricité en hydrogène pour pouvoir la stocker puis l'utiliser sous forme de gaz ou de carburant ou en la transformant à nouveau en énergie et en chaleur grâce à une pile à combustible, voilà les promesses de la filière. Les avantages sont nombreux: stockage de l'électricité produite par les énergies renouvelables, mélange avec du gaz naturel, alimentation des véhicules électriques… mais les défis à relever le sont aussi pour installer durablement l'hydrogène dans le paysage énergétique. Des actions sont en cours pour relever ces défis. Tour d'horizon!

    Energy transition Series – Which future for hydrogen and fuel cells?

    Science and Technology on March 23rd, 2015

    Storing electricity? Some old solutions to this old problem are gaining momentum nowadays, thanks to recent improvements. Among these solutions, using electricity to obtain hydrogen and reconverting it later into energy or heat via fuel cells. The advantages are numerous: the possibility to store the excess production of electricity generated by renewable energy sources, to mix the hydrogen with natural gas (methane), to power electric vehicles… But there are as many challenges ahead if we want hydrogen to be a significant part of the future energy mix. Actions are under way. Let us discover them!
