Hydrogen offers tremendous potential as an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels in many industries, including the production of fertiliser. This method results in zero carbon emissions, making hydrogen a key enabler for sustainable energy transformation and a viable solution to mitigate climate change. By embracing green hydrogen, GHFC will contribute to supporting global efforts to combat climate change.
The Green Hydrogen Fertiliser Project is a crucial initiative for Uganda, addressing several vital needs at once. It aims to double crop yields, strengthen food security, empower local farmers with better access to fertilisers, and bolster the country’s economic self-reliance.
Green hydrogen is produced via electrolysis using renewable electricity from sources like hydropower to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, emitting no greenhouse gases.
In contrast, grey hydrogen is made from natural gas through steam methane reforming, which releases carbon dioxide. Green hydrogen offers a sustainable, carbon-free alternative, essential for a low-carbon economy.
