What is green hydrogen?
Green hydrogen is produced from water and renewable energy. Obtaining by electrolysis from renewable sources consists of the decomposition of water molecules (H2O) into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2).
Green hydrogen is used in the refining of fossil fuels, in the production of ammonia, and in the steel industry. New applications are currently being developed, in which hydrogen is burned directly or generates electricity through devices called fuel cells with the combination of hydrogen and oxygen from the air.
