John Cockerill Hydrogen

Green hydrogen can greatly reduce mankind`s carbon footprint. Hydrogen production dates back to the 17th century. However, it was not produced from renewable energy. Today, the world consumes large quantities of hydrogen, but right now, it is mainly produced by reforming natural gas (“grey hydrogen”) which releases large volumes of CO2. Another technology used to produce hydrogen from water is the electrolysis of water. When the electricity required for the electrolysis of water comes from a renewable energy source (such as wind or solar), the hydrogen produced is referred to as “green hydrogen”. Green hydrogen is essential to decarbonise sectors such as transportation and industry, answering the ecological urgency and the need to reduce CO2 emissions.
