White hydrogen, a newly identified hydrogen source, could eliminate the need for lab production.
Because it doesn't require any of these energy-intensive processes, climate experts say white hydrogen could be our saving grace, according to CNN.
It's also cheaper: white hydrogen is estimated to cost about $1 per kilogram to produce, while green hydrogen costs about $6 per kilogram, per CNN.
