Along with hydrogen, green hydrogen is also garnering interest. Green hydrogen is made by breaking water into hydrogen and oxygen through renewable electricity.
The hydrogen industry didn't have this popularity until recently, but thanks to the huge participation from businesses, other institutions and governments, it is now among the fastest growing sectors across the globe.
