Green Hydrogen

Green hydrogen energy is a renewable energy source that is used to produce hydrogen, a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. It is produced through electrolysis, a process where water is split into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity from renewable sources. This process is carbon-neutral, reducing the overall carbon footprint. Green hydrogen can be used in various applications, including transportation fuel cells, energy storage, industrial processes, heating and power generation, and grid balancing. It can also serve as energy storage, allowing excess renewable energy to be converted into hydrogen and stored for later use. The widespread adoption of green hydrogen requires the development of infrastructure, including electrolyzer facilities, hydrogen production plants, storage and transportation systems, and distribution networks.

Energy Poverty Mitigation

Energy poverty mitigation is a global effort to alleviate the impacts of energy poverty, which is a lack of access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy services. It involves addressing the root causes of energy poverty and improving access to clean, reliable energy sources. Affordability is crucial for reducing energy costs and increasing energy access, while energy efficiency measures reduce costs and minimise environmental impacts. Renewable energy deployment can provide clean, sustainable energy solutions for off-grid and underserved communities, contributing to poverty reduction and sustainable development. Effective policy and regulatory frameworks, international cooperation, and community engagement are essential for promoting energy access, affordability, and sustainability. Promoting inclusive, participatory approaches can help address the root causes of energy poverty and promote universal energy access among all stakeholders.
