Hydrogen vs LNG, choices for Europe
On March 31, the Flex Ranger, an LNG tanker 3 football fields long left Louisiana, USA with a capacity of 4 petajoules of primary energy. In Nunez de Bilboa, the Spanish company Iberdrola is running Europe’s largest solar farm, at 500 Megawatts (MW) covering 1,200 football fields. If you redirected the solar farm’s electricity to make another form of primary energy, green hydrogen, it would produce less than 2% of the content of the Flex Ranger by the time it docked in England 15 days later.
