What is Green Hydrogen?

Green hydrogen is a groundbreaking and sustainable energy carrier that holds the key to a cleaner, more eco-friendly future. It is produced through a process called electrolysis, wherein renewable electricity (derived from sources like solar, wind, or hydropower) is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This carbon-free method results in hydrogen gas, a versatile fuel that can be harnessed to power a wide range of applications.


Unlike conventional hydrogen, which is predominantly derived from fossil fuels and emits harmful greenhouse gases during its production, green hydrogen stands out as an environmentally friendly alternative. When utilized, it releases only water vapor, leaving no harmful traces behind and making it an essential player in the fight against climate change.


The applications of green hydrogen are extensive and span various sectors. It can power zero-emission vehicles, providing an efficient and clean solution to transport. Additionally, green hydrogen plays a vital role in energy storage, enabling the stabilization and integration of renewable energy sources into our power grids.

Furthermore, green hydrogen is a game-changer for industries seeking to reduce their carbon footprint. It can replace fossil fuels in high-emission processes like steel and ammonia production, promoting a more sustainable and responsible approach to manufacturing.


As the world increasingly focuses on a sustainable future, green hydrogen emerges as a promising solution, offering the potential to decarbonize our societies and foster a cleaner, greener planet for generations to come.


Global Hydrogen Goals

As we strive for a more sustainable and carbon-neutral future, hydrogen has emerged as a key component of our global energy  goals. Several countries and organizations have set ambitious targets to harness the potential of hydrogen and integrate it into various sectors of our economy. These goals reflect the growing recognition of hydrogen's role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and advancing the transition towards cleaner energy systems.

At the forefront of hydrogen initiatives, many nations have outlined specific targets to promote hydrogen production and utilization. These goals typically revolve around two main types of hydrogen: green hydrogen, produced through renewable energy sources, and blue hydrogen, generated with carbon capture and storage technologies to reduce emissions.

The first and most fundamental goal is to scale up hydrogen production capacity significantly. Many countries aim to deploy gigawatts of electrolysis capacity to produce green hydrogen from renewable energy sources, fostering a substantial shift towards a clean hydrogen economy.

Transportation is another critical area of focus. Numerous governments have set targets to develop hydrogen fueling infrastructure for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and support the widespread adoption of hydrogen-powered transportation, aiming to reduce emissions from the transport sector significantly.

Moreover, hydrogen is envisioned as a crucial enabler for energy storage and grid balancing. Countries are working towards integrating hydrogen into their energy systems to provide long-term energy storage solutions and stabilize the grid, enhancing the reliability of renewable energy sources.

In heavy industries, hydrogen offers the potential to decarbonize various processes. Therefore, many countries are targeting the implementation of hydrogen-based solutions in industries like steel, chemicals, and refineries to reduce carbon emissions drastically.

Collaboration between countries is also a key aspect of hydrogen goals. International partnerships and agreements aim to foster research, development, and investment in hydrogen technologies, facilitating the exchange of knowledge and accelerating global hydrogen deployment.

As we move forward, these hydrogen goals will play a pivotal role in shaping our energy landscape and driving us closer to a sustainable, low-carbon future.  If clean hydrogen is scaled globally, the hydrogen industry has projected the potential for $2.5 trillion in annual revenues and 30 million jobs globally, along with 20 percent global emissions reductions by 
2050. With ongoing innovations and concerted efforts, the vision of a hydrogen-powered world is becoming an exciting reality, demonstrating our commitment to building a greener and more resilient planet for generations to come.

Germany

The Federal Government expects that around 90 to 
110 TWh of hydrogen will be needed by 2030. In order 
to cover part of this demand, Germany plans to establish up to 5 GW 
of generation capacity including the 
offshore and onshore energy generation facilities 
needed for this. This corresponds to 14 TWh of green 
hydrogen production and will require 20 TWh of 
renewables-based electricity. An additional 5 
GW of capacity are to be added, if possible by 2035 and 
no later than 2040.

United States of America

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), was signed by 
President Biden on November 15, 2021, making a 
once-in-a-generation investment in the Nation’s 
infrastructure and competitiveness to deliver a more 
equitable clean energy future for the American 
people. It includes:
• $1 billion for a Clean Hydrogen Electrolysis Program
• $500 million for Clean Hydrogen Manufacturing and Recycling RDD&D Activities
• $8 billion for Regional Clean Hydrogen
Hubs

Australia

On 24 February 2023, the Energy and Climate Change Ministerial Council (ECMC) agreed to a Review of the National Hydrogen Strategy to ensure it positions Australia on a path to be a global hydrogen leader by 2030 on both an export basis and for the decarbonisation of Australian industries.

Australia has around 40 percent of all announced global hydrogen projects, with the Australian pipeline valued from $230 billion to $300 billion. Furthermore the Australian Government has taken a step in announcing the establishment of a $2 billion competitive hydrogen production contract program.
