In this article, formation of green hydrogen, fact about green hydrogen, steps to produce it and advantages and disadvantages of green hydrogen is given.
Green Hydrogen
- It is production of hydrogen from renewable energy through electrolysis.
- It is a process of splits water into basic elements – hydrogen and oxygen using electric current.
- The electricity used in this process comes from renewable.
Fact about Green Hydrogen
- Most expensive method of production of hydrogen
- Hydrogen generates zero emissions
- Electrolysis can be powered by renewable energy sources like wind energy , hydro energy or solar energy.
Steps to produce green hydrogen
- Cleaned water is pumped into electrolyzer
- Water is split into hydrogen and oxygen
- Oxygen is released into atmosphere or utilized and hydrogen is captured
Advantages and Disadvantages of Green Hydrogen
Advantages
- Hydrogen does not emitting polluting gases either during combustion or during production.
- It is easy to store hydrogen.
- Green hydrogen can be transformed into electricity or synthetic gas and can be used for commercial, industrial or domestic purpose.
- It can be mixed with natural gas at ratio up to 20% and transport through pipes.
Disadvantages
- Green hydrogen is generated by renewable energy sources which is more expensive
- Production of green hydrogen requires more energy than other fuels.
- Hydrogen is highly volatile and flammable element therefore safety measured are taken to prevent leakage and explosions.
