Abstract

Over the past decade there has been a call for action to reduce the emissions which have contributed to global warming and climate change. Many countries and organizations have invested in renewable resources like solar, wind and hydropower to produce energy in a sustainable way. In recent years, an interest has been taken in hydrogen. This paper highlights the benefits of hydrogen and more specifically green hydrogen which is hydrogen produced using renewable resources. It highlights the current challenges such as production of hydrogen at large scale and the cost of production. During research, the benefits of hydrogen were discovered and the lack of knowledge especially in the public sector were observed. To help create awareness and highlight the future prospects of hydrogen, Microsoft Power BI data visualization tool was used to create an interactive dashboard which can be used to create awareness between the users and to encourage them to adopt renewable energies. Certain countries and companies were highlighted for taking the prominent role in the production of hydrogen and paving the way for others to follow with their findings. With the increase in awareness between communities, it is predicted that government and other entities will be encouraged to explore clearer energy such as hydrogen. It was recommended that in the future when the cost of hydrogen has decreased it can be used to tackle large sectors like heavy duty industrial and transportation.
