Green Hydrogen

Green hydrogen refers to hydrogen that is produced through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, or hydropower. This process involves splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen, resulting in hydrogen that is considered environmentally friendly since it does not emit carbon dioxide during its production. Green hydrogen is viewed as a crucial component in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to a low-carbon economy, as it can serve as an alternative fuel for transportation, a means of energy storage, and a feedstock for various industrial processes. Unlike gray hydrogen, which is produced from natural gas and emits significant CO2, or blue hydrogen, which is produced similarly but employs carbon capture and storage, green hydrogen’s production pathway aims to be entirely sustainable and low-impact.
