Generally, hydrogen production requires electrical energy to facilitate the chemical reaction that generates hydrogen from water molecules, producing more hydrogen than the oxygen present. When renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind farms or water turbines are utilized for hydrogen production, the resulting product is referred to as green hydrogen. In addition, there exist two other types of hydrogen production: gray hydrogen and blue hydrogen. Moreover, green hydrogen production technologies enable non-oil-producing countries to transition into energy-exporting nations without relying on fossil fuels during the production process. For these compelling reasons, green hydrogen production stands out as the most strategic choice for both oil-exporting and importing countries.
