Abstract: Growing population of the world demands higher energy requirements without affecting environmental balance.Fossil-fuels making pollution will soon get exhausted with its limited stocks.Hence it is required to find an alternative for clean energy production.Here green energy technology refers to the acceptable solution where utilization of renewable and sustainable energy sources helps to generate power while minimizing environmental impact.Solar energy, bio and geothermal energy, tide and wave energy, wind and hydro energy are some common substitutes of degrading energy sources having lots of benefits as well as the drawbacks in the output.However, production-wise these are not sufficient to cater the energy need of the modern civilization where hydrogen fuel cell is considered to be one of the most promising energy resources to lead the field in coming decades.The primary source of hydrogen exists in fossil fuel form as natural gas.The availability of hydrogen makes it possible to fulfill future global energy demands sustainably.So this paper includes a brief discussion on 'hydrogen energy' as a resource of the future.If hydrogen produced from renewable sources is synthesized with captured carbon-di-oxide in a biomass power plant, then it benefits in carbon neutrality and energy security.This hydrogen energy can be useful to enhance the energy efficiency alongside it provides overwhelming environmental and social benefits creating economic opportunities as well.Nevertheless, along with numerous advantages of hydrogen energy, some limitations may sometimes rove to be extremely fatal.
