Traditional methods of producing hydrogen without greenhouse gas emissions (green hydrogen) include electrolysis powered by renewable sources such as wind, solar, or hydro. Green hydrogen production, however, is energy intensive and expensive. According to recent studies, the global green hydrogen market size was valued at US$0.3
