Session II Green Hydrogen Fundamentals
Dr. Shafudah
Hydrogen Quiz
The Conference was educated and entertained during the information exchange by Dr. Shafudah on key characteristics of Hydrogen such as:
Hydrogen is colourless
Hydrogen has no smell
Hydrogen is not an energy source, but an energy carrier
10 litres of water is needed to produce 1kg of pure hydrogen
1 kg of Hydrogen is needed to drive 100km
Ms. Mutschler
The Basics of Hydrogen
Ms. Mutschler provided further insights from Industry to the Conference
Desalination in the form of Reverse Osmosis would be used in Namibian context for feedstock (Water).
Emphasised the nature of hydrogen not being dense and therefore requiring space or compression, while also emphasising the volatility of GH2 and thus the need for reliable storage systems.
A Key point made was that it takes approximately 55 kW of energy to produce 1 kg hydrogen
Dr. Zivayi Chiguvare
Maximising GH2 benefits for the local market
Hydrogen uses are more pervasive than we realise.
Presently there are some 30 000+ cars and heavy vehicles in parts of the world running on hydrogen.
Several countries will be importers of GH2
