Research highlights criticality of local water supply for hydrogen strategies

This article was originally posted on Chemical Engineering Online.

Summary
Research highlights that while green hydrogen is vital for decarbonizing heavy transport and industry, its large-scale production is constrained by local water availability. Without careful, place-based water management, electrolysis could worsen water stress and intensify competition with agriculture, so hydrogen strategies must integrate rigorous water-resource assessments and safeguards.

What solutions look most promising in your region to align hydrogen deployment with limited water supplies—strategic siting, efficiency gains, water recycling, or using non-freshwater sources?

Green hydrogen is considered to be an important part of the global climate transition, especially as a fuel and energy carrier for heavy transport and industry. However, large-scale green hydrogen production requires sustainable ways of managing water resources to avoid giving rise to water shortages and conflicts with agriculture over access. This has been shown […]
