Green Hydrogen
Creating Green Hydrogen
The European Green Deal and Europe’s Clean Hydrogen Alliance aims to develop and deploy Hydrogen as a viable energy carrier and a key technology bridge in carbon neutrality.
Hydrogen is seen as a critical component of greening Europe’s energy market and reaching the goal of becoming the first carbon-neutral continent by 2050.
Hydrogen is expected to replace natural gas in industries that cannot be easily electrified, such as heavy industry, heavy shipping, and aviation.

Electrolysis
The most environmentally friendly method of producing green hydrogen is via electrolysis in which water is converted into H2 and O2 gasses. As an electrolyzer requires a high voltage current, large amounts of energy are required to split the water into is two components.
Historically natural gas, oil and coal have been the primary energy sources for the electrolysis process. In order to create an green hydrogen, sustainable energy sources such as wind, solar and biomethane are being used.
Steam Reforming
Steam BioMethane Reforming (SBMR) uses green biomethane and carbon dioxide from Carbon Capture Storage (CCS), missed together under high heat and pressure to produce green hydrogen.
