A Polestar 2 charged with wind power, for instance, will have a carbon footprint of 27 tonnes over its lifetime use compared to 42 tonnes when charged with the typical energy mix from the power grid in Europe. But to use them to their full sustainability potential they must be charged with renewable energy.

The European Union wants to build 40 gigawatts of green hydrogen electrolyzers by 2030, and estimates that 80 to 120 gigawatts of solar and wind will be needed to power them. That’s a fresh headache for Europe’s grid operators. In Europe, that means clusters of demand in Belgium, Netherlands and Germany.

With targets now set for the phase-out of gas boilers in countries across Europe, in recent years, gas companies in the UK and the EU have lobbied hard for hydrogen over heat pumps – the model which offers the least disruption to their business model. Hydrogen can be made in a number of ways – some of which are more polluting than others.
