1️⃣If it is a 30MW plant that TUV certified, then why did you tell your FB readers that a 20MW plant got TUV certification??⬇️
2️⃣And has the entire 30MW electrolyzer plant operated for 22K hr, or is it only 3200hr??⏬

Yes, promising new lab test results for a new PtNiCoOx hydrogen evolution catalyst that uses 5x less platinum.

BUT NOTE that their "durability tests showed...stable performance over 24 h". MUCH more work remains before this can go commercial!

China's first 30MW water electrolysis hydrogen production demo "Base" operates +22,000hr.
✅30MW
✅"Base" = 22K hr
❓ Electrolyzer = only 3200hr ops⬇️
So I guess the Balance of Plant ("Base") idled for 18.8K hrs to reach this milestone?

It doesn't matter how big the grid is it won't protect you from power cuts and only going off grid using solar, small scale wind & other local renewable sources plus inter-seasonal hydrogen storage at domestic or micro-grid level will work www.reuters.com/business/env...

The best thing to do about this is to reduce our dependence until we can say to the big fossil firms: "no thank you, we do not want or need what you are selling", and walk (or cycle, take an electric bus or drive an electric car) away.
