The world is facing a global energy crisis due to rising carbon emissions, climate change, and the depletion of non-renewable energy sources. In the search for alternative energy sources, green hydrogen has emerged as a promising option for the clean energy transition. Hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier that can be produced from renewable sources, stored, and transported for use in various applications such as transportation, industry, and power generation. This blog explores the potential of

The demand for renewable energy is increasing, and so is the popularity of renewable energy sources. Renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, hydropower, biomass, and geothermal, are replenished naturally and are not depleted through use. Currently, 30% of the world’s electricity is produced from these sources. Moreover, 65% of the countries still use fossil fuels to produce electricity, while 31% use renewable sources. The remaining 4% use nuclear energy. This increase in the use of multiple

The world faces an unprecedented climate crisis requiring urgent and sustained action. One of the most effective ways to tackle this crisis is by transitioning to clean energy sources. In the US, the government has set ambitious goals for clean energy adoption, which presents an opportunity for entrepreneurs to start a clean energy company.
