A new electrolysis process developed by an Australian research team is said to be able to deliver 14 times more hydrogen than conventional approaches and also requires 27% less energy! (Source 1, 2) But the best thing is that the system is quite easy to replicate and it is also cost-effective, as no rare metals from the platinum group are required. (Source 1, 2) Vibrations play a key role in this new approach, which anyone could theoretically generate using a typical loudspeaker! But how is this supposed to work, how useful is the system really and is it worth it? Let's take a closer look! In the near future, hydrogen could be the universal carrier for making the energy supply of renewable energies more flexible. Not only can it of course be used directly in industry as a replacement for natural gas, but also in gas-fired power plants to balance out the fluctuating energy supply from solar and wind. (Source 3, 4) As everyone knows, solar cells only produce electricity when there is sun and wind turbines only produce electricity when there is wind. But many people lose sight of the biggest problem with renewable energy sources. Not only is it a challenge to provide electricity in bad weather conditions, but using peak power in particularly good conditions is also a problem in general. Solar and wind power systems often produce too much electricity when there is a lot of sun and wind. We could use these peak power levels to produce hydrogen using electrolysis. What sounds trivial and many of you take for granted is not yet really being implemented on a large scale. In the past, this excess electricity was simply throttled down, i.e. thrown away. In the first quarter of 2019 alone, a total of 3.3 billion kilowatt hours were destroyed. (Source 5) The energy would have been enough to heat 100,000 households for a year.
