Green hydrogen could counter energy crisis, says British firm

ITM Power, which makes electrolyser machines, says splitting water using renewable energy has become more cost-effective than gas

The war in Ukraine and spike in the price of natural gas have underlined the benefits of switching to green hydrogen" production as the only net zero energy gas", according to the British firm ITM Power.

The Sheffield-based company, which manufactures electrolyser machines that make hydrogen from water, said the energy crisis had shown hydrogen represents a viable alternative to methane gas.
