Green Hydrogen Baseload Briefing – Comparison, Analysis & CRT Solution
A) Comparison Table – Global Green Hydrogen Projects & Baseload Strategy
Global observations: No major project today achieves true 24/7 renewable baseload power
for electrolysers. Most rely on grid stabilisation, PPAs, or hybrid renewable systems.
PROJECT | ELECTROLYSER SIZE | POWER SOURCE | TRUE 24/7 BASELOAD? | NOTES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEOM (Saudi Arabia) | ~600 MW electrolysis (4 GW renewables) | Dedicated solar + wind +
storage | Closest, but unproven | Not yet operating; hybrid smoothing still required.
Shell Holland Hydrogen 1 | 200 MW | Offshore wind | No | Variability requires modulation
or grid fallback.
REFHYNE 2 (Germany) | 100 MW | Grid + solar/wind PPAs | No | Renewable claims via
certificates; physical baseload from grid.
Iberdrola Puertollano (Spain) | 20 MW | 100 MW solar + 20 MWh battery | No | Solar-only
cannot supply night-time; the grid may supplement.
Air Liquide Normandy | 200 MW | Grid + PPAs | No | Commercial reliance on grid stability.
Denham H2 Microgrid (WA) | 250 kW | Solar + H2 storage | Micro-scale only | Demonstrates
concept, not industrially scalable.
B) CEWT Briefing Note – Why Global Green Hydrogen Projects Still Struggle
With Baseload & How CRT Solves It
1. Global Baseload Challenge
Electrolysers require stable, continuous power for economic operation. Pure wind/solar
cannot meet 24/7 requirements due to intermittency and storage limitations.
2. Current Industry Workarounds
- Grid supply (common)
- PPAs for 'book-and-claim' renewable matching
- Hybrid wind+solar systems with limited storage
None delivers a true physical baseload.
3. Lack of Large-Scale Success
NEOM, Shell Holland, REFHYNE, and others are not yet demonstrating 24/7 renewable energy
electrolysis.
4. How CRT Solves the Gap
CRT produces renewable methane (RNG) that can be stored and used in a zero-emission
combined-cycle system to provide continuous power:
- Baseload renewable electricity
- Long-duration energy storage in carbon form
- High utilisation electrolysers, lowering cost/kg H2
5. Strategic Advantage for WA
CRT enables firm, renewable baseload power co-located with hydrogen hubs, unlocking
green steel, ammonia, and critical minerals.
C) Executive Summary Paragraph
Today, no large-scale green hydrogen project globally operates on genuine 24/7 renewable
baseload power. All depend on the grid, PPAs, or hybrid wind–solar systems that remain
intermittent. CEWT’s Carbon Recycling Technology (CRT) fills this global gap by producing
a storable renewable fuel that drives a zero-emission combined-cycle plant, delivering true
renewable baseload electricity and enabling electrolysers to run at high utilisation—a capability unmatched internationally!
