Green hydrogen is often not produced using surplus energy for various reasons:
1. **Economic feasibility**: The costs of generating hydrogen through electrolysis are still relatively high. While using surplus energy may be cheaper, the infrastructure and technology for large-scale production are still under development.
2. **Infrastructure**: Most hydrogen production occurs at locations where the necessary infrastructure is already in place. It can be challenging to adapt this infrastructure for the use of surplus energy.
3. **Supply and demand**: The demand for hydrogen is not always in balance with the available surplus energy. There may be times when there is plenty of energy, but the demand for hydrogen is not sufficient to make a production process profitable.
4. **Technological limitations**: Not all electrolysis facilities are capable of flexibly handling fluctuations in energy supply. This can lead to inefficiencies and higher costs.
5. **Policy and regulation**: Governments sometimes promote other forms of energy storage or use, which can shift the focus away from hydrogen production.
Nevertheless, there are increasing initiatives to produce green hydrogen using renewable energy, and the technology and infrastructure continue to evolve.
