What is Green Hydrogen?

Green hydrogen is a type of hydrogen generated by renewable energy or low-carbon power. It has significantly lower carbon emissions than grey hydrogen, produced by steam reforming of natural gas. Green hydrogen is commonly produced from regenerative energy sources through water electrolysis. The water is separated into oxygen and hydrogen in an electrolyzer with the help of an electric current and is differentiated from grey hydrogen obtained from fossil fuels (such as natural gas). There are three types of electrolyzer technologies used in the green hydrogen manufacturing process: alkaline electrolyzer, proton exchange membrane electrolyzer, and solid oxide electrolyzer.
