Green Hydrogen 

  • Hydrogen is a key industrial fuel that has a variety of applications including the production of ammonia (a key fertilizer), steel, refineries and electricity. 
  • However, all of the hydrogen manufactured now is the so-called ‘black or brown’ hydrogen because they are produced from coal. 
  • Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. But pure, or the elemental hydrogen, is very scarce. 
    • It almost always exists in compounds such as with oxygen to form water. 
  • But when electric current is passed through water, it splits it into elemental oxygen and hydrogen through electrolysis. 
    • And if the electricity used for this process comes from a renewable source like wind or solar then the hydrogen thus produced is referred to as green hydrogen. 
  • Colors attached to hydrogen indicate the source of electricity used to derive the hydrogen molecule. 
    • For instance, if coal is used, it is referred to as brown hydrogen.
