The Role of Green Hydrogen in the Global Energy Transition
It has transcended the realms of being an imperative but rather a necessity in saving a world facing an immediate climatic crisis. Solar and wind energy have reached maturity but only face one big challenge in its current stage: decarbonization for industries and sectors that could not be powered by electricity. Here is where green hydrogen fits into the new revolutionary paradigm for thinking about energy.
What is Green Hydrogen?
Green hydrogen is a clean fuel obtained by electrolysis, where electricity generated from renewable sources, such as wind, solar, or hydropower splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. Conventional hydrogen comes from natural gas and creates carbon emissions; on the other hand, green hydrogen creates no harmful emissions in the production process.
The most exciting thing about green hydrogen is that it can be used in almost anything. It can be used to fuel vehicles, power industries that require high temperatures or energy density—industries that electricity alone cannot easily support.
