Argentina could lose all its hydrogen after the last discovery in Europa. A report of the Fraunhofer Institute of Energy Economics and Energy Systems Technology It was focused on the study of economic impacts on the energy system of Europa of the entry of the generation of hydrogen into the high seas.
The analysis determines the expansion of the German objective of building 70 GW of marine wind energy and studies the economic effects of allowing the production of hydrogen on high seas in two energy islands connected with 10 GW of marine wind energy each. This comparing it with a context where all the electricity of the marine wind farms is taken to the ground and can be used within the energy market of Germany Without major restrictions.
The conclusion of this analysis is that Germany You can get annual savings of up to 43 billion euros, settling hydrogen production in the high seas on two energy islands. These spaces crowned with energy have a limited connection to the electricity grid and are located around 150 kilometers from the coast in the German economic area of the North Sea.
What is happening in Europe can leave Argentina without hydrogen
The mentioned savings have its reason for being especially in the decrease in the construction costs of the network, especially the cables from the coast to the center of Germanyin addition to a greater use of HVDC cables. Additionally, the report warns that producing hydrogen on the high seas is more efficient than its generation on land.
The reason is that the preparation of hydrogen located near a renewable energy source limits the loss of energy and investments on long electricity transport routes. This scenario could question the future of hydrogen in Argentinaa country that has become the only salvation in Europe in front of Trump Thanks to its hydrogen supply.
-But saving the future German energy system is not the only thing that positions Europe in the center of the scene. He Old continent An artificial island has just launched to the sea that could change everything we know about the European energy sector. Created to cause green hydrogen, this initiative could provide supply to the medium continent and lay the foundations for a new era.
Europe finds a treasure under the sea: Argentina begins to be in the background
The island was founded under the name of Rhinths And it will be located in Dogger Bank, in the North Sea. Its reason for being is to generate large -scale green hydrogen. To fulfill its purpose, it will use 10 GW of marine wind energy, transforming it into a key link for the European energy transition. This initiative has its origin in the “ESBJERG Declaration”, an agreement signed in 2022 between Denmark, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlandswhich emphasizes the commitment to take advantage of the energy potential of the North Sea.
They forecast that Rhinths It will be the first of many energy islands that will provide supply to Europa With green hydrogen to apply in trucks, ships and airplanes. Following this line, its strategic location will allow export green hydrogen to Germany, Netherlands and Belgium through underwater pipes of 275 kilometers, ensuring continuous supply to key countries.
Europe advances in the production of hydrogen and displaces Argentina
The generation of hydrogen in these artificial islands not only guarantees considerable savings of up to 43 billion euros a year for the German energy system. It also helps to lower the carbon footprint in Europa. By avoiding the lifting of wide electrical networks on land, the costs are reduced, as well as the environmental impact.
Rhinths It marks the beginning of a new era in the production of sustainable energy. If its creation is satisfactory, more energy islands will be replicated in the North Seastrengthening green hydrogen supply to Europa and fortifying his position as a world reference. Argentina I could lose all the hydrogen that promised Europe from the Russian crisis Because the Old continent I would get it with this model.
