Renewable Hydrogen

Renewable hydrogen refers to hydrogen gas that is produced using renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, or biomass. This process typically involves the electrolysis of water, where electricity generated from renewable sources is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike hydrogen produced from fossil fuels, which emits greenhouse gases, renewable hydrogen is considered a clean energy carrier because the production process can be entirely free of carbon emissions. It can be utilized in various applications, including energy storage, fuel cells for transportation, and as a feedstock in industrial processes, thereby contributing to efforts aimed at decarbonizing the economy and transitioning towards sustainable energy systems. Renewable hydrogen is an important component of strategies to combat climate change and enhance energy security.
