Green Technology - The Future Of Power Generation

Green technology provides a solution, a means to a better, more viable future. It is not just about building more effective systems or lowering our ecological impact; it is about changing how we engage with our surroundings and the world. A read on...

The ambitious target of decarbonising the entire planet by 2050 has prompted countries across the globe to pursue a range of transformative strategies. Among them, a pivotal approach is the decarbonisation of hydrogen production, which can generate green hydrogen and tackle the alarming contribution of hydrogen to over 2% of the world's total CO2 emissions.

As our daily routine continues to evolve, the insatiable demand for power grows with it. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), by 2040, global energy demand is expected to surge by 25–30%, a trajectory that, in a carbon-intensive economy, would trigger a catastrophic surge in CO2 emissions, accelerating the pace of climate change. Yet, envisioning a world in 2050 where decarbonisation reigns supreme offers a ray of hope: one that is more accessible, efficient, and sustainable, and powered by clean, renewable energy sources such as green hydrogen.

UNLOCKING GREEN HYDROGEN

The globe is increasingly transitioning towards sustainable energy sources, and Green Hydrogen is the most recent addition to the list. Green Hydrogen is a lean and sustainable energy source produced by electrolysis utilising renewable energy sources such as the sun, wind, or hydropower. It has potential to revolutionise the way we power our lives.

Green Hydrogen is created by cleaning water and dividing it into Hydrogen and Oxygen using an electric current. The hydrogen gas is then compressed and stored until it is needed. But that's not all; another process known as Pyrogasification can produce Green Hydrogen. It entails turning biomass or organic resources into syngas, which may subsequently be utilised to generate Green Hydrogen.
