Green Hydrogen - Page 2

Green hydrogen refers to hydrogen gas that is produced through the electrolysis of water, using renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, or hydroelectric power. This process splits water (H₂O) into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂) without emitting carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional hydrogen production methods that rely on fossil fuels. Green hydrogen is considered a key technology for achieving a low-carbon economy, as it can be used in various applications, including fuel cells for vehicles, energy storage, and as a feedstock in industrial processes. Its potential to decarbonize sectors that are hard to electrify, like heavy industry and shipping, positions it as a crucial component in the transition towards sustainable energy systems.
