Hydrogen applications in developing countries
PDF, French. 1 document.
Enea published a report aimed at identifying the potential applications of hydrogen-based technologies in answering developing countries needs by 2020-2025.
This work has enabled the creation of solution factsheets, twelve namely. These sheets are not exhaustive, and can efficiently be combined so as to best match a particular need, if applied to actual projects. The geographical context, as well as the raw materials and energy sources availability, are key drivers in selecting the applicable solutions.
This study shows there is a real potential for the successful application of hydrogen systems to answer development needs. However, the technological improvements required are substantial for a full applicability as early as 2020-2025: Efforts (R&D, financing, pilot studies) are thus required.
