TRLUP– Towards Net-Zero Emissions: Catalyzing Low-Cost Green Hydrogen

Green hydrogen is a cornerstone of the global clean energy transition, offering a zero-emission alternative to fossil fuels for sectors like heavy industry and transport. However, its adoption remains limited due to high production costs—typically $4–6 per kilogram compared to $1–2 for fossil-based hydrogen. Green hydrogen is produced by splitting water using an electrolyzer powered […]
