Green Hydrogen

About

Green hydrogen is a clean and sustainable form of hydrogen produced through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy sources like solar or wind power. This process results in hydrogen that is free from carbon emissions, making it a vital component in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition away from fossil fuels. Green hydrogen's applications span multiple sectors, including heavy industry, transportation, and energy storage. It can be used as a feedstock for producing green ammonia and organic chemicals, and as a direct reduction agent in steelmaking. Green hydrogen's versatility allows it to decarbonize hard-to-electrify sectors such as aviation and long-haul shipping, where it can be used to create synthetic fuels. Additionally, it provides a reliable energy storage solution, helping to stabilize the grid by storing excess renewable energy for later use. While its cost remains higher than traditional hydrogen production methods, investments in green hydrogen infrastructure are increasing globally, driven by its potential to mitigate climate change and enhance energy security.
