I can guarantee you that there are conditions when sun and wind aren’t producing a thing or very low output, like during night you are at mercy of wind (hydro is another story, is more stable but even there we experience droughts). So, what do you do when all three (night, no wind and drought) hit you like for a week?
Edit: typo
In the EU, hydrogen. Either by fuel cell or burnt in hydogen ready NG plants. Wouldn’t be my first choice but thats whats gonna happen.
Could be, however hydrogen is really tough to handle plus green generation is around 50% efficiency (something like that). Also imagine having huge hydrogen volume and there is a spark…
Well… It’s the current strategy.
Also, the same could be said about NG [efficiency about 30%-55% and also a little bit flameable].
