The term "green hydrogen technology" describes the process of producing hydrogen utilising hydropower, solar, and other renewable energy sources. In this method, water molecules are divided into hydrogen and oxygen via electrolysis, and the hydrogen is then collected and used as fuel.
In contrast to conventional hydrogen production techniques that rely on fossil fuels, the word "green" refers to the fact that the hydrogen is produced without releasing greenhouse gases. As a result, green hydrogen has promise as a way to cut carbon emissions from a variety of sources, such as transportation, energy production, and industrial activities.
The high manufacturing cost compared to conventional methods is one of the key obstacles for green hydrogen technology. The price of manufacturing green hydrogen is anticipated to decline as renewable energy sources become more accessible and effective. The efficiency of electrolysis is also being improved, and novel methods of storing and transferring hydrogen are being developed.
In general, green hydrogen technology has the potential to contribute significantly to the shift to a low-carbon and more sustainable economy.
