Green Hydrogen

Green hydrogen, produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable energy, is a key player in the low-carbon transition. It enhances grid stability by storing excess wind and solar power, releasing it when needed to improve flexibility. Green hydrogen supports three energy solution pathways in the One Earth Solutions Framework:

• Green Hydrogen Power: Used in fuel cells or turbines to generate electricity, producing only water as a byproduct.
• Green Hydrogen Heat: Provides high-temperature heat for industry or lower-heat applications via co-generation fuel cells.
• Green Hydrogen Fuel: Transported through cooled pipelines for use in fuel cells, powering vehicles with water and heat as the only emissions.

Currently, most hydrogen is fossil fuel-based (gray hydrogen), but green hydrogen capacity has doubled in the past five years.
