The first is via a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.alicat.com\/articles\/photoelectrocatalytic-water-splitting\/\">photochemical process<\/a>, using solar energy directly to split water. The second is solar powered electrolysis, which uses solar cells to generate electricity and power electrolysers.<\/p>\n<p>While the photochemical process is appealing due to its direct hydrogen production, it must still undergo significant innovation to reach scalability. Solar powered electrolysis, on the other hand, uses already established technologies and can therefore more immediately be used to provide certain geographies with the opportunity to produce large amounts of green hydrogen.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_heading title=&#8221;Current solar hydrogen capabilities&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_level=&#8221;h3&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||2rem||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.solener.2023.112072\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A 2023 research paper<\/a> analyzing the advancements and challenges in photovoltaic-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/engineering\/hydrogen-production\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hydrogen production<\/a>\u00a0highlights key barriers such as safety, production, storage, utilization, commercialization, weather variability, and cooling of photovoltaic cells.

Green hydrogen production like this reduces dependence on fossil fuels and encourages innovation in solar and electrolysis technologies, helping to meet the energy needs of large populations. In the short term, individual projects and plants have a minimal impact on the overall energy market.
