When hydrogen is consumed, it can be reversed in vehicles by recombining it with oxygen to produce electricity, heat, and water through a fuel-cell system.
Electrolysers use water to produce hydrogen, with green hydrogen production reliant on sustainable water sources and abundant renewable energy.

Why are electrolysers and fuel cells important for climate mitigation?
In power plants, blending green hydrogen with natural gas can reduce carbon intensity, with hydrogen playing roles in steel plants, transport, and other industries for climate mitigation.
Hong Kong and global emissions highlight the need for green hydrogen adoption to reduce reliance on fossil fuel-based power generation and lower carbon emissions.
The history and advancements of electrolysers and fuel cells show their growing importance in the transition to green hydrogen for decarbonisation and clean energy storage.
