00:00:00 In this section, the advancements in green hydrogen production are discussed, as scientists are getting closer to mitigating the negative effects of hydrogen, given that hydrogen can easily connect to other elements and is immaculately maintained. Green hydrogen is produced using renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power making it a highly-sought-after resource. Recent advancements in the hisata capillary-fed electrolysis have shown to improve the efficiency of the system, since introducing the capillary action enables the electrolyte to maintain direct touch on one side alone, while the gases are still created without the irritating bubbling action that obstructs the process. This novel approach could potentially reach 98% efficiency, compared to the current commercial electrolyzer that is only 83%, and if it can reach gigawatt scale production by 2025, that could open entirely new vistas of possibilities for the green hydrogen industry.

High SATA and Korean Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) are among the companies and researchers who are developing cheaper and more efficient electrolyzers to make hydrogen power a viable option. KIST researchers developed a new type of membrane that outperformed existing proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology by six times and even surpassed anion exchange membrane (AEM) technology, which is preferred for not requiring expensive metal catalysts. While research is ongoing, advancements in hydrogen energy suggest that the industry is thriving, as it is important to have a range of clean energy sources for a better future.
