      "text": "In this report, renewable hydrogen refers to hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources via water electrolysis. Low-carbon hydrogen refers to hydrogen produced with low-emissions technologies with significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions impact than conventional production pathways, based on robust life-cycle analysis-based methodologies for GHG emissions assessment. This includes i) hydrogen produced using natural gas as a feedstock with SMR or ATR coupled with CCS; ii) hydrogen produced through pyrolysis of natural gas into hydrogen and solid carbon; iii) hydrogen produced through gasification of coal with CCS; iv) hydrogen produced through electrolysis using electricity of non-renewable origin as feedstock. Renewable and low-carbon hydrogen are collectively referred to as \"clean hydrogen\". Grey hydrogen refers to hydrogen produced from unabated fossil fuels.",
