BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 2. The use of
depleted oil and gas fields for geothermal energy is becoming an
important aspect in the transition to new types of energy, Head of
Hydrogen and Green Technologies Direction of Azerbaijan Renewable
Energy Agency Rana Humbatova said, Trend reports.
She claimed it at a panel discussion on“Meeting the Just
Transition Challenge for the Oil & Gas Sector” within the framework
of the third day of the international conference at the Climate
Action Week in Baku.
“The use of depleted oil and gas sources for geothermal energy
is becoming significant in the energy transition. The matter of
hydrogen production is currently under scrutiny. Historically,
hydrogen was generated from natural gas and primarily utilized in
oil refineries for the purification of diesel fuel and gasoline.
This is referred to as gray hydrogen, which, despite its
efficiency, must be supplanted by green hydrogen derived from
renewable energy sources under contemporary conditions,” she
noted.
