What is green hydrogen?
Green hydrogen is a clean and sustainable form of hydrogen produced using renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower. Unlike traditional hydrogen production methods that rely on fossil fuels, green hydrogen is generated through the electrolysis of water, resulting in zero carbon emissions.
This makes it a key component in the transition to a carbon-free energy future, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to hydrocarbon fuels.

In the energy strategies hydrogen is viewed as a universal energy carrier. It is designed to replace hydrocarbon fuels such as oil, gas, and coal with an environmentally friendly and neutral gas with high calorific value.
However, hydrogen energy faces a significant challenge—the absence of free hydrogen deposits. This means hydrogen must be produced by converting primary energy and resources into hydrogen production.
Hydrogen production as an energy carrier involves using renewable, environmentally clean raw materials—primarily water—and renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower. This method of hydrogen production will be as natural for the Earth's ecosystem as the water cycle in nature, earning it the designation of "green" hydrogen.
The relative novelty of both industrial and architectural technologies in this field presents new opportunities for addressing architectural challenges within the industrial complex. The integration of resource-saving and architectural solutions can diversify the artistic appearance of structures and significantly improve their visual perception.
