Summary:This paper examines synergies, opportunities and barriers associated with electrolytic hydrogen production from excess hydroelectricity in remote areas. The work is based on a case study that examined the techno-economic feasibility of a new hydrogen-based industry using surplus/off-peak generating capacity of the Taltson Dam and Generating Station in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, Canada. A first study evaluated the amount and cost of hydrogen that could be produced from the excess capacity. This study investigates two hydrogen utilization scenarios: hydrogen as a chemical feedstock for the production of hydrogen peroxide, and methanol production from biomass, oxygen and hydrogen. Hydrogen peroxide production represents the most promising and attractive hydrogen utilization option.
