An Overview of the Efficiency and Long-Term Viability of Powered Hydrogen Production

Abstract

This work studies the efficiency and long-term viability of powered hydrogen production. For this purpose, a detailed exploration of hydrogen production techniques has been undertaken, involving data collection, information authentication, data organization, and analysis. The efficiency trends, environmental impact, and hydrogen production costs in a landscape marked by limited data availability were investigated. The main contribution of this work is to reduce the existing data gap in the field of hydrogen production by compiling and summarizing dispersed data. The findings are expected to facilitate the decision-making process by considering regional variations, energy source availability, and the potential for technological advancements that may further enhance the economic viability of electrolysis. The results show that hydrogen production methods can be identified that do not cause significant harm to the environment. Photolysis stands out as the least serious offender, producing 0 kg of CO2 per kg of H2 , while thermolysis emerges as the major contributor to emissions, with 20 kg of CO2 per kg of H2 produced.
