Electrolysis

Electrolysis plays an essential role in the green transition by enabling the production of green hydrogen — a major driver in the sustainable energy landscape and a key feedstock for eFuels like eMethanol. When powered by renewable electricity, the process enables fossil-free fuel production, offering a viable pathway to reduce emissions in sectors where direct electrification isn’t practical.

How Electrolysis Works

eFuel facilities developed by Liquid Wind use water electrolysis powered by renewable electricity to split water (H₂O) into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂). This takes place in an electrolyser, where an electric current drives a chemical reaction that separates water molecules into their basic elements.

The hydrogen serves as the primary feedstock for making eMethanol, while the oxygen can be released into the atmosphere or captured and used by local industry.

Because the process runs entirely on renewable electricity and avoids fossil-based inputs, the resulting hydrogen is considered green and contributes to the overall sustainability of eMethanol.

About Green Hydrogen

Green hydrogen is a fossil-free energy carrier produced using renewable electricity. Because it doesn't generate any direct greenhouse gas emissions during production or use, it offers a sustainable alternative to conventional hydrogen. It can serve as a feedstock, a fuel, or a storage medium for surplus renewable electricity — making it a versatile solution across transport, industry, and energy systems.

In eMethanol production, green hydrogen plays an important role, and when combined with captured biogenic CO₂, it enables the creation of a cleaner, more sustainable fuel with strong climate benefits — including reduced lifecycle emissions, support for carbon circularity, and a lower environmental footprint than conventional methanol.
