Producing hydrogen with renewable energy | Free educational graphic

This graphic shows how green hydrogen is made and its applications. On left are three types of renewable energy — hydroelectric, solar and wind — used in the electrolysis process. On right are three applications: chemical industry, transportation and aerospace. In center, we see the process of separating the water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen.

 

Green hydrogen is produced using energy from renewable sources — such as hydroelectric, solar or wind power. Through a process known as electrolysis, this clean electricity separates water into its two constituent elements: oxygen and hydrogen. The hydrogen is then stored and transported. It can be used directly in industrial processes; be combined with other elements to create synthetic fuels; or be mixed with oxygen to generate electricity again, as is the case with hydrogen fuel-cell cars.
