Green hydrogen is set to play a pivotal role in the global energy transition, driven by advances in technology, escalating demand for renewable energy, and supportive governmental policies. This sector, which utilizes renewable energy sources such as solar and wind to produce hydrogen via water electrolysis with minimal emissions, offers significant environmental benefits. As countries align with international climate agreements like the Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the regulatory landscape is becoming increasingly favorable for green hydrogen. This shift not only aids in decarbonizing industries but also supports significant growth projections for the green hydrogen market, with a forecasted rise from USD 1.5 billion in 2025 to USD 125.3 billion by 2035.
