Green hydrogen (GH2) is expected to play an important role in future energy systems their fight against climate change. This study, after briefly recalling how GH2 produced and the main steps throughout its life cycle, analyses current development, environmental social impacts, a series of case studies from selected literature showing applications as fuel transportation electricity sectors, heat producer high intensive industries residential commercial buildings, industrial feedstock for production other chemical products.
