Hydrogen Production and Storage Methods: Recent Trends and Technologies

Abstract

Hydrogen is an emerging technology that offers a sustainable energy pathway for the transportation industry and buildings. It can help reduce environmental pollution and climate change. In this context, this paper investigates hydrogen production and storage methods to calculate carbon emissions (CEs) of an electrical energy system and assess the environmental benefits of carbon reduction. An analytical model for carbon emission flow (CEF) in the electricity network is addressed to evaluate the carbon emission. The case study results are presented to evaluate CO2 emissions and average emission intensity concerning hydrogen production. This paper provides a thorough investigation of the hydrogen energy landscape with future implications. By emphasizing this unique focus, it is envisaged that the literature will be enriched and the understanding of hydrogen as a promising energy source will gradually increase. © 2024 IEEE.
