A new green hydrogen project in the tiny island nation of Barbados is providing a glimpse of the future that awaits after the global economy wakes up from its collective fossil energy nightmare. Unless sheep give you nightmares, that is.

Green Hydrogen Meets Agrivoltaics

For those of you new to the hydrogen topic, the modern industrial economy depends on hydrogen, and almost all of that hydrogen comes from natural gas and other fossil sources. That is beginning to change as the cost of electrolysis systems comes down. Alongside the ongoing drop in the cost of wind and solar power, electrolysis can provide an economical pathway for jolting hydrogen gas from plain water.

The result is green hydrogen, which serves as a transportation fuel, an input for various industrial and agricultural processes including power generation, and a long term energy storage option. Green hydrogen is also transportable by road, rail, ship, or pipeline.
