DSP H2 is committed to producing large quantities of green hydrogen from renewable energy sources such as wind power and water. The goal is to produce 25 tons of hydrogen per day, or 6 million tons per year starting in 2026. This makes a significant contribution to the fight against climate change and the replacement of fossil fuels.
The fact that the production of green hydrogen competes with scarce resources such as drinking water and electricity for other uses (such as drinking water and electricity for e-mobility) is greatly underestimated.
About 13 liters of water are required to produce one liter of hydrogen. About 331,000 liters of water per day are required to achieve the goal of producing 25 tons of hydrogen. The water consumption will be gigantic in the implementation of the hydrogen strategy of the federal government and will result in a shortage of drinking water if new, additional capacities are not created for the water needed for hydrogen production. DSP H2 does not want to contribute to the shortage of drinking water and the resulting inevitable price increases and therefore will use seawater for hydrogen production. Seawater is virtually free and will only be temporarily converted into hydrogen. DSP H2 will therefore produce hydrogen on a floating platform in international waters.
In addition to water, electricity is needed for electrolysis. Wind power is a natural, green energy source that is widely available and can be used to generate large amounts of electricity with wind turbines. Large wind turbines already deliver over 14 megawatts and are already being used on pylons in the sea or floating on carrier platforms. The production of hydrogen in large quantities competes with the already scarce production of wind energy for other purposes, such as the federal government's desired e-mobility. Starting in 2030, only electric vehicles will be newly registered and the internal combustion engine will be abolished. The electricity demand will be gigantic and it will be a major challenge to provide the needed electricity from renewable sources. Wind energy is the main source of green electricity. At the same time, there is a dilemma that only limited space on land can be socially accepted for the construction of wind turbines. Approval procedures already take up to 10 years on average. That's why DSP H2 will use the wind power that is freely and infinitely available at sea for hydrogen production and set up wind turbines at sea.
Users of non-green energy will be charged 30 euros per tonne of CO2 in 2023. The CO2 tax will increase to 55.00€ per tonne of CO2 by 2055.
