HyBalance
Country
Denmark
HyBalance is a project that demonstrates the use of hydrogen in energy systems. The hydrogen will be produced from water electrolysis, enabling the storage of cheap renewable electricity from wind turbines. It will help balance the grid, and the green hydrogen will be used for clean transportation and in the industrial sector.
