....onia? * Green Hydrogen is produced via electrolysis, using renewable electricity (solar/wind) to split water (H₂O) into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂), emitting no CO₂. * Green Ammonia (NH₃) is made by combining green hydrogen with nitrogen (N₂) from the air via the Haber-Bosch process-again, using renewable energy. These are distinguished from: * Grey Hyd....
