The production and use of green hydrogen from renewable energy sources is one of the key measures for reducing carbon emissions in the energy and transport sectors. Electricity generated from wind energy, hydropower, or solar energy can be converted into hydrogen by electrolysis and then stored in tanks, transported, and used anytime, anywhere. Hydrogen is used in carbon-neutral transport, such as in fuel cell vehicles, in the chemical industry, in steel production, and in power stations, where it is converted back into electricity.
