Green hydrogen is a form of hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar power, through electrolysis. It can become a key player in the transition to a low-carbon economy, as it can be used as a clean fuel for transportation, heating, and power generation. Accelerating the production of green hydrogen requires increased investment in renewable energy sources and the development of more efficient and cost-effective electrolysis technology. Governments and private companies are already investing in this promising technology. As its production costs continue to decrease, it could become a significant part of our energy mix in the future.
