Green Hydrogen Insights

What is Green Hydrogen?

Green hydrogen is hydrogen produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity. This process, called electrolysis, results in hydrogen production with very low or even zero carbon emissions, making it a clean energy carrier and feedstock. Green hydrogen is commonly used as a fuel for transportation, for industrial processes (such as steel production and ammonia synthesis), and for energy storage.

What other technologies are related to Green Hydrogen?

Green Hydrogen Complementary Technologies

carbon capture

Carbon capture can be used to capture CO2 produced during some methods of green hydrogen production (e.g., if using natural gas as a feedstock with steam methane reforming), to further reduce the carbon footprint. However, green hydrogen primarily focuses on using renewable energy sources for electrolysis, making it less directly reliant.

energy storage

Energy storage, such as batteries or pumped hydro, is crucial for managing the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources (wind, solar) used in green hydrogen production. Storing excess renewable energy allows for continuous hydrogen production, improving efficiency and reliability.
