Researchers have developed a method to produce hydrogen gas from water using only solar power and agricultural waste like manure or husks.

Increasing greenhouse gas emissions and recent climate change indicators have led to a growing demand to transition from fossil fuel-based to renewable energy sources.

According to the team, by reducing the energy required to extract hydrogen from water by 600 percent, the technique opens up new possibilities for creating environmentally friendly, sustainable chemicals.Fuels derived from hydrogen show great promise as a clean energy source.

The team claims that by utilizing sustainable energy sources like wind and solar power and recovering waste products, the procedure can achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions. Recently, scientists have been able to lower the voltage needed for water splitting by adding a carbon source to the process. However, this method produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct and utilizes coal or pricey chemicals.
