Hydrogen is a promising clean, low-carbon energy (LCE) carrier with the potential to reduce worldwide dependence on fossil fuel resources. Global investment in hydrogen infrastructure is rising and, along with the growth of LCE, demand for the water supply needed to generate the LCE is also expected to intensify. Water is a critical element of hydrogen production. As water scarcity threatens many areas of the globe, water-intensive decarbonization processes will need local sustainable water supply solutions.
This eBook explores four key water supply considerations for developers looking to plan sustainable and equitable low-carbon hydrogen production infrastructure projects.
