Green hydrogen is expected to play a significant role in the global transition toward clean energy, but its environment-friendly production requires enormous quantities of fresh water. However, scientists have devised a novel method for synthesizing green hydrogen fuel from thin air, even in the driest conditions.

Green Hydrogen Overview
Hydrogen synthesized by splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen using renewable electricity is called green hydrogen. Renewable energy ensures hydrogen produced is free from carbon emissions.
Green hydrogen is the most promising clean energy carrier of the low-carbon economy. Its combustion does not produce any greenhouse gas emissions. It can also be a storage medium for intermittent energies such as tidal, wind, and solar.
The fuel is easily transportable and can be burnt anywhere as…
