HVDC Is The New Pipeline
, and of course they come from fields of natural gas, not fields of solar panels and wind turbines next to a good water source, so where exactly is this hydrogen coming from?
The technology was invented in Europe, so it’s unsurprising that there’s a great deal of it there. And it’s equally unsurprising that China has the lion’s share of longer, higher-powered HVDC lines. But as the map shows, it’s present on every continent and projects are being announced regularly. A few notable projects are worth calling out, especially as they are in places that were considered energy islands that would have to go it alone. Israel, for example, is modeled as an energy island and separate grid in the Stanford 100% renewables by 2050 work that Mark Z. Jacobson leads. But construction is under way for an HVDC interconnector from Greece through Cyprus to Israel.
Iceland is another outlier, being 850 km from the tip of Scotland and 1,000 km from Norway across the stormy Northern Atlantic. It’s already doing very well with its geothermal resources, but there’s been an interconnector in the works for a few years to enable it to share in the European energy grid. The Icelink would be over 1,000 km and in the range of a GW of capacity.
