Ontario’s wind production from 2024Jan1 to Aug8 is 8TWh. If this production was dedicated to green H2 using Bloom’s solid oxide electrolyser it could have produced

8/37.5*1000000000/1000=212000tonnes H2=7% of Canada’s annual H2 consumption=2.12million tonnes SMR CO2 offset=0.3% of Canada’s annual CO2

In an ideal world this connection between the wind turbines and the electrolyser units could be done “virtually” via the grid. Ie. real time wind production data could be relayed to electrolyser loads. This would allow electrolysers to be located in CHP settings where waste heat could be used.

If this H2 was used to power FC buses at 1000km/day we could power

7kgH2/100km/bus=70kg/day/bus*223=15.6tonnesH2/bus year to date=13600 buses

or Murai at 100km/day

0.75kgH2/100km=0.75/day/car*223=167kg/car year to date= 1.3M Murai

Feel free to double check my math.

@icanbob I'd like to see that with the amount of energy curtailed, ie not produced even though the wind was blowing due to lack of demand. IIRC that could be similar to the actual production value. Hydrogen could be a cheap energy source for fleets.

@dan613 It would make sense for Ontario to curtail gas first before wind. Based on this graph, Ontario wind is not able to drive gas to zero at any point in the year so far. That said I couldn’t find any curtailment data for wind on the IESO site.
