Green hydrogen is viewed as an important element that can help industries to move closer to their energy transition goals and at the same time decarbonize their operations as well. Although green H₂ offers many benefits but storage and transport still remain a challenge. Experts have suggested storing green hydrogen in the form of ammonia to overcome this challenge but is it truly an ideal solution? Read on to know more…

Hydrogen (H₂) is vital for oil refining, ammonia production and methanol production. Today, hydrogen is majorly produced from natural gas via the steam reforming process which leads to significant carbon emissions into the atmosphere. With the constant pressure of achieving net zero emissions by 2050, industry leaders are not only exploring but also adopting the concept of ‘clean hydrogen’ to what it believes will help it to decarbonize its operations.

Clean hydrogen can be labelled under blue and green. Blue hydrogen claims to lower carbon emissions through the carbon capture and storage (CCS) process whereas, green hydrogen is produced from water electrolysis and is completely powered by renewable sources, it is the most sustainable option to truly produce clean hydrogen. Today, green hydrogen is clearly being seen as a vital clean energy source and a sustainable alternate which can help the industry to move away from the use of traditional fossil fuels. However, there are other associated challenges such as storage and transportation of green H₂ which need to be focused on to ensure the full-scale implementation of green hydrogen.
