Hydrogen is created by separating the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water, but it's only considered green if a renewable energy such as wind power is used in the process. "We think green hydrogen could be a game-changer for Nova Scotia," said Derek Estabrook, vice-president of Heritage Gas. "It's a terrific way for us to use the excellent wind resource that we already have here in the province."
