As the amount of Carbon in the atmosphere is increasing day by day, there is a need for 'Carbon control' and to use environment-friendly alternatives for Global sustainability as well as for Ozone layer protection. Hydrogen being a potential fuel, is hard to extract from the atmosphere or by electrolyzation for commercial use. Here comes our hero 'Green Hydrogen' which can be used to Save the tomorrow.

'Green Hydrogen', an alternative non-pollutant carbon-free fuel made of Renewable energies. 

Green Hydrogen is produced by the electrolysis of Water (H20) to produce Oxygen(O2) and Hydrogen(H2) using Electrolysers which is completely powered by the green energies to produce Energy free of Carbon.

How is it Obtained?

Green Hydrogen can eliminate all the current carbon-induced fuels and reduce the usage of fossil fuels.But the problem is that the production of Green hydrogen costs very high, with support of the global climatic institutions and corperation of the different countries united for this global action , it is none less than an easy process.I hope the best for Green tomorrows !

Hydrogen has been the fuel of the future for decades, always promising to deliver huge benefits in about five years’ time.

Now it looks like the future has arrived as seven of the biggest green hydrogen project developers come together to launch the Green Hydrogen Catapult Initiative in a bid to increase the production of green hydrogen 50-fold in the next six years.

Green hydrogen is produced using renewable energy and electrolysis to split water and is distinct from grey hydrogen, which is produced from methane and releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and blue hydrogen, which captures those emissions and stores them underground to prevent them causing climate change.

The new initiative aims to cut the cost of green hydrogen to less than $2/kg, which would help to cut emissions from the world’s most carbon-intensive industries including steelmaking, shipping, chemicals production and power generation. The founding partners are Saudi clean energy group ACWA Power, Australian project developer CWP Renewables, Chinese wind turbine manufacturer Envision, European energy giants Iberdrola and Ørsted, Italian gas group Snam, and Yara, a Norwegian fertilizer producer.

Estimating The Carbon Footprint Of Hydrogen Production

Scaling up green hydrogen will be essential to helping global economies to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and limit global temperature rises to 1.5C.

Green hydrogen could supply up to 25% of the world’s energy needs by 2050 and become a <a href="https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/pages/gs-research/green-hydrogen/report.pdf">US$10 trillion addressable market by 2050 </a>, according to Goldman Sachs. A number of countries have recently published national hydrogen strategies, including Australia, Chile, Germany, the EU, Japan, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain and South Korea.

To meet the target of the Catapult will require investment of roughly US$110 billion and create more than 120,000 jobs, so it will also play an important part in helping economies to recover from the impacts of COVID-19.

The group is looking for more members – “committed businesses with aligned vision and gigawatt-scale projects under development, as well as mission-aligned investors, customers, and city and regional governments” to participate as the initiative takes shape and builds global momentum in advance of the next UN Climate Summit, scheduled to be held in Glasgow in November 2021.

Investment in green hydrogen production is set to exceed $1billion a year by 2023 as the costs of both renewable power and electrolyser technology fall and governments introduce supportive policies, according to IHS Markit, which said before the announcement of the Green Hydrogen Catapult that there was already a pipeline of 23GW of electrolysis projects, up from current capacity of just 82MW.
