A Project by the H2 team and the LINZ AG apprenticeship workshop
Welcome to our interactive model—immerse yourself in four vivid scenarios illustrating the integration of hydrogen into our future energy system: scenarios of the current energy system in summer and winter show energy flows of today that are independent from each other.
In the future, these flows of energy will be coupled by hydrogen: excess green electricity production will be used to produce H2. This hydrogen will supply industry, district heating and specific, otherwise difficult to decarbonize mobility applications with green, gaseous energy via H2 pipelines. Unused hydrogen will be stored in natural geological formations underground. In winter, this stored hydrogen can be used to meet increased energy demand, either directly in the form of hydrogen, or in efficient combined heat and power (CHP) plants to produce carbon-neutral green electricity and district heating.
See how the energy flows between stations change and adapt over time. This model illustrates the potential of the energy transition and highlights the key role of hydrogen as an enabler of a climate-neutral energy future.
In short, hydrogen makes summer’s green energy available in winter.
