Looking at the extreme potential of green hydrogen, there has been a sudden frenzy over hydrogen in recent times. Green hydrogen is considered as one of the best and cleaner alternative fuel options.
Hydrogen that is produced using renewable energy through electrolysis is known as Green Hydrogen. In this process, hydrogen is separated from oxygen in the water through an electric current. Renewable sources, such as solar or wind, are used in the requirement for electricity for electrolysis. Therefore, no greenhouse gasses are emitted in this method of hydrogen production.
At present, less than 1 percent of hydrogen generated is green hydrogen. As per the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), hydrogen will make up 12 percent of the energy mix by the year 2050. It was further suggested that around 66 percent of this hydrogen used should come from water, not natural gas.
