H2 Generation plant
The renewable hydrogen generation plant consists of three main elements:
Fuel cell
Device that performs the reverse process of the electrolyser. From the stored hydrogen and the oxygen present in the air, it generates electrical energy that can be used to cover the electrical demand of the platform.
Electrolyser
Uses electricity to break down the water molecule, obtaining oxygen and hydrogen. In this case, it is a PEM type electrolyser that uses electrical energy from totally renewable sources.
H₂ Storage
Once generated in the electrolyser, gaseous hydrogen is stored in pressurised cylinders for use when needed.
