Precies wat First Solar nodig heeft voor opslag van energie (in de piek uren).
Zie onderstaand artikel.
Ik ben aandeelhouder van First Solar en van Hydrogenics.
Twee bedrijven die tegemoet komen aan de vraag naar groene energie en de opslag daarvan. Want Zonne- en windenergie kunnen op de lange termijn niet zonder een goed buffer opslag systeem. En een accu is nou niet bepaald groen.

Southeast Asia’s First Renewable Hydrogen-Based Energy Storage and Power Plant Awarded to Hydrogenics
Mississauga, Ontario – July 21, 2016 – Hydrogenics Corporation (NASDAQ:HYGS; TSX:HYG) (“Hydrogenics” or the “Company”), a leading developer and manufacturer of hydrogen generation technology and hydrogen fuel cell power modules, today announced that it, along with Phraram 2 Civil Engineering Co., Ltd. (“PCE”), has been awarded the “Lam Takhong Wind Hydrogen Hybrid Project” by the Electricity Generation Authority of Thailand (EGAT). This will be Southeast Asia’s first megawatt-scale project for energy storage; Hydrogenics’ portion is projected to be worth approximately €4.3 million.
The facility, located in the sub-station area of the Lam Takhong Wind Turbine Generation Project, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand, will consist of Hydrogenics’ ultra-compact 1 MW PEM HyLyzer® electrolyzer, hydrogen storage and a HyPM® fuel cell plant. PCE, based in Bangkok, will provide the services required to implement the technology supplied by Hydrogenics.
The installation will use the HyLyzer to convert excess electricity from wind to hydrogen during off-peak hours, and this hydrogen will then be used by the HyPM fuel cell plant to generate 300kW of electricity for EGAT’s Learning Center, an energy neutral building, as needed.
“We are pleased to work with the Electricity Generation Authority of Thailand and bring our unique hydrogen technology to this milestone project,” stated Daryl Wilson, Hydrogenics’ CEO and President. “There is great untapped potential for wind and solar energy storage worldwide, and Thailand is leading the path towards sustainability in Southeast Asia. This project once again shows the breadth and depth of Hydrogenics’ energy solutions for a diverse set of applications across the globe.”
