00:00What is a Betalyzer?
00:04The Betalyzer is an electrolyzer that is 100% flexible.
00:08It can unlock 100% green hydrogen.
00:11It works in taking power from renewable sources
00:15and using that together with water to split it into hydrogen and oxygen.
00:20When producing hydrogen, it can at any time stop producing hydrogen
00:24and in doing so can follow the intermittency in the power profiles
00:29which, of course, in an energy system of the future using a lot of renewables
00:33will be very volatile.
00:35What is hydrogen?
00:38Hydrogen is already used a lot in industry nowadays.
00:43That is called grey hydrogen.
00:45Hydrogen that is produced using natural gas and therefore also emitting CO2.
00:50The sectors that are already using...
