In this talk, we'll explore green hydrogen, how it is produced through the environmentally friendly process of electrolysis using renewable energy sources or photolysis, and why it is considered a key player in reducing carbon emissions across various industries. We'll also discover the challenges, potential applications, and current state of technology and infrastructure required to implement green hydrogen solutions globally.
