Product Description

Green hydrogen is obtained through the splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen using only electricity in electrolysis. The electricity used in the electrolysis process of green hydrogen comes from renewable energy sources, including wind, solar, or hydroelectric power. By applying this method, the production of hydrogen gas does not emit carbon dioxide, hence green hydrogen gas is categorized as a clean and sustainable energy carrier.

The usage of green hydrogen will ensure global sustainable energy solutions by providing a way to store energy generated from renewables and to transport it wherever necessary. It is also useful in various sectors including industry, power generation, and transportation and in reduction of emissions and to combat climate change.
