Yes I know how the usual process works. The plant in the article is different, because it uses electrolysis to make hydrogen for the HB plant. You'd have known this if you'd read even the first paragraph of the article.
Right, and if you read the first paragraph, you’d see it’s meant to increase and decrease power consumption based on demand.
How are they gonna turn up the damn wind, WJW? Is this a plant that shuts down every time there’s a calm day? Is it a plant for funsies or meant to be a reliable station? Either this is a gigantic art project, or it has hydrocarbon inputs for running on days when the wind is calm.
Wrong. Natural gas is the most common catalyst, but plenty of plants use oil, coal, and other hydrocarbons.
