Green hydrogen refers to hydrogen gas that is produced through the process of electrolysis using renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, or hydroelectric power. Unlike grey hydrogen, which is derived from fossil fuels and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, green hydrogen is considered a clean and sustainable energy carrier. The electrolysis process splits water (H2O) into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) without releasing carbon dioxide or other pollutants, making it an environmentally friendly option for various applications.
Green hydrogen can be used as a fuel for transportation, in industrial processes, or as a means of storing energy from renewable sources. It plays a critical role in the transition to a low-carbon economy, as it can help decarbonize sectors that are difficult to electrify, such as heavy industry and long-haul transportation. The development of green hydrogen technologies is seen as essential for achieving global climate goals and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Avalon Renovables is investing €8 billion in green hydrogen projects across four Spanish provinces. This initiative is expected to create 10,000 direct jobs within five years. Facilities will produce green…
