650,000 kg/d = 27,083 kg/h
If one assumes 100 % of the contained energy of 39.39 kWh/kg can be recovered in a power plant connected to the grid, this equals power generation capacity of: ~
1 GW
So this is roughly equivalent to one big coal or nuclear plant. Considering this will be the worlds largest such plant, it shows that we're still far away from powering the world with renewable hydrogen to a significant degree.
