The gold standard—so-called “ green ” hydrogen—is hydrogen produced via electrolysis using renewable electricity from wind or solar. When water and electricity are introduced to the electrolyzer, water splits at the anode into oxygen and positively charged hydrogen ions. What’s with the colors? I’ve mentioned green and grey hydrogen.
