When electricity is passed through water, hydrogen gas is released at the cathode and oxygen gas at the anode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use in Green Hydrogen Production<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They produce hydrogen fuel using renewable energy sources like solar or wind power. Since the electricity used comes from clean energy, the hydrogen produced is called \u201cGreen Hydrogen\u201d meaning zero carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Types of
