To split water into hydrogen on a large scale, we need technologies that are sustainable, efficient, scalable and durable. Hydrogen today comes primarily from natural gas, which pumps out a lot of carbon and methane pollution into the atmosphere. Green hydrogen research and technologies have been gaining momentum around the world.
