Feasibility of renewable energy storage using hydrogen in remote
The ability to store excess energy so as to match supply with demand can greatly increase the usefulness of local renewable energy, especially in the case of hydro, solar and wind. We have examined the technical and economic feasibility of using hydrogen as a storage medium for hydro, PV and wind systems in two remote locations in Bhutan.
Energy in Bhutan
In the early 21st century, about 70 percent of all energy consumption in Bhutan was in the household sector. [5] Heating and cooking with firewood in particular accounted for between 70 and 90 percent of total energy consumption and virtually 100 percent of household energy consumption. [23] In contrast, commercial activities in Bhutan were fueled mostly by
