This invention relates to an arrangement to optimize the production of hydrogen, the arrangement comprising at least a solar energy unit (12) and a wave and/or tidal energy recovery system (2), which are arranged to produce renewable energy, a water purification unit (5) and an electrolysis unit (9), which is arranged to produce hydrogen from pure water produced by the water purification unit (5), and the electrolysis unit (9) and the water purification unit (5) are powered by the renewable energy produced by the solar energy unit (12) and the wave and/or tidal energy recovery system (2). The arrangement comprises a buffer unit (6), into which pure water is supplied from the water purification unit (5) during periods when the production of the renewable energy exceeds the need of energy of the electrolysis unit (9).
