Abstract: 
The Energy sector, a significant contributor to greenhouse emissions due to its reliance on fossil energy sources, is on the brink of a significant transformation. However, there is hope on the horizon. Hydrogen is leading the charge in the energy industry's decarbonisation processes with its cleaner and more sustainable features. The adoption of Hydrogen could pave the way for a global energy transition towards a carbon-neutral society. Green Hydrogen, in particular, holds immense promise. It can facilitate the shift to clean and renewable energy while ensuring the reliability and sustainability of power grids, inspiring a sustainable and carbon-neutral future for the energy industry.
Moreover, Hydrogen, with its potential to displace fossil fuels in various industries as an energy source, has sparked a growing demand for hydrogen supply chain management structures. This versatility is the recipe for economic development. However, there are significant obstacles to implementing a cleaner Hydrogen economy in Nigeria, such as the high production costs of green Hydrogen and the need for substantial development of specific technologies. This review article will delve into these obstacles and assess potential solutions.
