The electrification megatrend will increase electricity demand by 150%. To prepare, the EU has therefore set a target of 40 GW electrolyzer capacity by 2030, equivalent to approximately 200 TWh electricity consumption. Hydrogen is the bridge between renewable electricity and hard-to-decarbonize sectors, which can help society meet this electricity demand, sustainably.

To achieve an electrified world, industry requires solutions that maximize energy efficiency from renewable sources when capacity is high and convert into firm clean energy for use when capacity is low. That requires high efficiency power conversion with low harmonic distortion while ensuring global scalability and cost-effectiveness.
In its pure form, hydrogen can be used to replace fossil fuels in some industries. To e-fuel even more industry, the hydrogen can be synthesized into e-methanol, e-ammonia, or e-diesel. By converting to these sustainable energy sources, we can reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
In 2050, more than 90% of electricity production will be based on onshore and offshore wind, solar PV, hydropower, and other renewables. EU needs 450 GW of offshore wind by 2050 to meet increased demand for electricity. New green hydrogen and Power-to-X projects are announced every day all over the world.
By investing in energy efficiency, we can reduce the cost of achieving our sustainability targets by almost 50%. Your electrolyzer must be highly energy efficient in every aspect: power conversion to match your stacks, the pumps that supply water, the heat exchangers that recover excess heat and valves and sensors to control it all. Danfoss helps you with the big picture.
Danfoss technology improves stability of the power supply by supporting a diverse range of energy generators and energy storage systems. Use Danfoss solutions to reduce the capital investment required for grid infrastructure. Certified for grid code compliance in a wide range of countries, we enable fast system certification for system integrators.
