Abstract
Green economy is a novel idea, emphasizing environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions. The need to find a carbon-free alternative fuel that is readily available and in adequate quantities to address the energy needs is critical, given the severe problems the world is facing with climate change and high vehicular emissions. Green hydrogen is one of the most significant potential solution for cutting carbon emissions and moving closer to attainable objectives. It plays an essential part in assisting and meeting the world’s energy needs. Green hydrogen is the finest way to store energy for a long period and it helps achieve the goals of the green economy. It may be produced from various resources, including natural gas, biomass, and renewable energy sources like solar and wind, making it the cleanest type of energy. This chapter provides a concise and thorough summary of current advancements in the field of green hydrogen. Over the past 20 years, the discussion about green hydrogen has changed, and many nations have started to decarbonize their economies and commit to net-zero carbon emission goals. Green hydrogen serves as a bridge between the expanding and long-lasting renewable electricity production. The generation of green hydrogen using renewable electricity will rise significantly over the next few years. Green hydrogen adoption undoubtedly has numerous advantages. Adopting green hydrogen is one of the many potential ongoing and planned efforts from many nations. If widely used, such an energy source would significantly reduce air pollution and improve energy security. This chapter’s primary goal is to provide an overview of the most recent technology, the promising future developments, and the difficulties that must be overcome to produce hydrogen.
