GREEN HYDROGEN: WHAT IS IT AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT

 


What is Green Hydrogen?

To slow down global warming, we need to embrace alternate energy sources.  Green Hydrogen is one of the most exciting alternatives.  

Green hydrogen is hydrogen produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity from renewable sources like wind or solar. One of the best parts of Green Hydrogen is it emits no carbon dioxide during production or use.

How Does Green Hydrogen Help Stop Global Warming?

  1. Zero Carbon Emissions: Produces only water vapor, making it a clean alternative to fossil fuels.
  2. Decarbonizing Hard-to-Electrify Sectors: Provides a carbon-free fuel for industries like steel, cement, shipping, and aviation.
  3. Energy Storage and Grid Balancing: Stores excess renewable energy for later use, helping stabilize the power grid.
  4. Versatility: Can be used in vehicles, industrial processes, and energy storage, reducing emissions across multiple sectors.
  5. Supports Renewable Energy: Helps expand renewable energy use by providing a flexible storage and transport solution.

Green hydrogen is vital for achieving net-zero emissions and limiting global warming.
