Green hydrogen, generated through water electrolysis from renewable energy sources, is a crucial component in the worldwide shift towards a low-carbon future. This paper offers a thorough comparative evaluation of solar and wind-powered electrolysis systems, examining their technical efficacy, economic feasibility, and environmental consequences. Primary focal points encompass energy conversion efficiency, intermittency, hydrogen production yield, cost-effectiveness, and lifecycle emissions. The study emphasizes the benefits of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysers in accommodating fluctuating renewable energy sources and the distinct advantages of solar Photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy systems in various geographical and operational settings. The study examines system integration issues and hybrid configurations as methods to improve dependability and output continuity. The results offer practical guidance for politicians, investors, and engineers to facilitate the sustainable implementation of green hydrogen infrastructure according to particular geographical circumstances and energy characteristics.
