Here’s how: Firstly, having more renewable energy sources can increase the demand for green energy. As more wind turbines, solar arrays, and other renewable energy installations are built, they generate a larger proportion of energy on the grid. As noted, the utilities industry is shifting to more sustainable practices.

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. Industry will be a big source of demand for hydrogen, even more so in the early days.
