Green Hydrogen projects link to water-stressed areas

According to the World Resources Institute’s Water Risk Atlas of the 18 approved green hydrogen projects, 1/5 are located in water stressed areas. “The total water use of hydrogen “is not the big deal,” said Jack Brouwer, an engineering professor at University of California-Irvine. “The water challenge is that where we have good primary energy from wind and solar, we do not have good water (supply) necessarily.”
