1. How can we identify local renewable energy sources and the uses of hydrogen produced by the customer?

1.1 How to identify local renewable energy sources?

Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, biomass, hydro, geothermal and nuclear power. These energy sources produce either electricity or heat. Hydrogen produced from these energy sources is decarbonized, i.e. hydrogen emits a low amount of CO ₂ emissions.

There are two ways to identify them.

Either the project owner has a solar power plant producing electricity or heat, or a biomass plant producing heat and/or electricity, a wind farm producing electricity, a hydroelectric plant, a geothermal plant producing electricity and/or heat. In this case, the power plant must comply with the following conditions:
