Hydrogen is currently experiencing a increasing interest despite years of usage. This main focus is mostly driven by the so called “Green Hydrogen” promising a clean fuel for the service of the Energy Transition.
Now, in the Energy transition scenario, hydrogen comes as a natural vector of energy for many applications where the electricity is unable to supplant oil & gas.
In this period of social and economic confusion, Gas projects seem to benefit from an exceptional stability.
The level of investment for gas projects is equal in 2020 to 2019.
As part of the underlying Oil & Gas and Petrochemical market revolution, the business model for projects is changing.
In fact, the new business model is a return to the basic of ROI (Return on Investment) calculations.
Thus, the new business model aims to shorten project timeline while controlling costs. Delivering “Fast-track” projects in 2-3 years.
Water Desalination is the conversion of sea water into potable water.
Desalination is a process commonly used in desert regions which can not use rivers, lakes, or ground waters as viable source for populations.
Removing the salts and other minerals from seawater will be the only source of potable water for 15% of the world population by 2025.
The Green Hydrogen, not to be confused with the Grey Hydrogen and the Blue Hydrogen, is the production of Hydrogen from water (H20) splitting.
The Green Hydrogen production is based on the water Electrolysis. Meaning, the electricity injected in the liquid is going to separate the water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen.
Blue Hydrogen, not to be confused with Grey Hydrogen and Green Hydrogen, is an hybrid concept targeting to decarbonize today hydrogen production.
The concept of what is called Blue Hydrogen is a combination of a Grey Hydrogen plant with a facility of Carbon Capture.
