Hydrogen Production, Transporting and Storage Processes—A Brief Review

Abstract

This review aims to enhance the understanding of the fundamentals, applications, and future directions in hydrogen production techniques. It highlights that the hydrogen economy depends on abundant non-dispatchable renewable energy from wind and solar to produce green hydrogen using excess electricity. The approach is not limited solely to existing methodologies but also explores the latest innovations in this dynamic field. It explores parameters that influence hydrogen production, highlighting the importance of adequately controlling the temperature and concentration of the electrolytic medium to optimize the chemical reactions involved and ensure more efficient production. Additionally, a synthesis of the means of transport and materials used for the efficient storage of hydrogen is conducted. These factors are essential for the practical feasibility and successful deployment of technologies utilizing this energy resource. Finally, the technological innovations that are shaping the future of sustainable use of this energy resource are emphasized, presenting a more efficient alternative compared to the fossil fuels currently used by society. In this context, concrete examples that illustrate the application of hydrogen in emerging technologies are highlighted, encompassing sectors such as transportation and the harnessing of renewable energy for green hydrogen production.
