 ABSTRACT
Green hydrogen production is a groundbreaking process that utilizes renewable energy
sources, such as wind, solar, or hydroelectric power, to electrolyze water into hydrogen gas and
oxygen. This sustainable approach holds immense promise in combating climate change and
advancing clean energy solutions. By avoiding carbon emissions during production, green
hydrogen contributes to a carbon-neutral energy ecosystem.

The key advantage of green hydrogen lies in its potential to decarbonize various sectors,
including transportation and industry, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. This clean energy carrier
offers energy storage capabilities, aiding grid stability and renewable energy integration.
Investment in green hydrogen infrastructure is essential for fostering a sustainable energy future.

Challenges persist, including the need for cost reduction and scaling up production.
Nonetheless, green hydrogen's environmental benefits and versatility make it a pivotal
component in the global transition to a greener, more sustainable energy landscape. Its role in
reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting a circular economy highlights its importance
in addressing the pressing challenges of the 21st century
