Hydrogen: sustainable energy storage and clean fuel for farmers

Many farmers make use of solar panels or windmills to generate energy. However, the local network is not always able to process this energy. Furthermore, while energy is most needed in the winter, it’s primarily produced in the summer months. Wageningen researchers are now studying ways for farmers to store energy in the form of hydrogen. Hydrogen gas may then be used by the farmer as a source of energy for their business, but also as a clean fuel for tractors and lorries. Do you consider hydrogen the energy solution of the future?
