Preserving the environment depends on reducing emissions and fossil fuel consumption. Scientific knowledge and technological progress allow our generation to choose alternative solutions for a sustainable future – new green technologies based on hydrogen. Indeed, hydrogen is the best alternative to fossil fuels that could be used en masse to generate clean energy to heat buildings, power vehicles and decarbonize industrial processes. Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical element in space and on Earth, where it is mostly bound to other chemical elements in water and organic compounds. Therefore, it can be produced from almost any energy source. Green hydrogen, produced from water by an electrolysis process, is the cleanest. When we use it in a fuel cell, we generate electricity that can be used to power vehicles. Combustion produces only water vapour, which does not pollute the environment. >>>

Sounds almost too simple, doesn’t it?

In fact, green hydrogen technologies are hardly used in everyday life at the moment because of the expensive processes involved. But many laboratories, educational institutions and numerous companies are developing solutions for the wider use of these important future technologies.

National Institute of Chemistry and the partners of the H₂GreenTECH project want to draw the public’s attention to the development of breakthrough hydrogen technologies in the area of Slovenia and Austria. We have launched a photo competition on the theme Let’s run the future on hydrogen!
