This study aims to determine the most cost-effective approach for production of green hydrogen a crucial element for global decarbonization efforts despite its high production costs. The primary research question addresses the optimal and economically viable strategy for green hydrogen production considering various scenarios and technologies. Through a comprehensive analysis of eight scenarios the study employs economic parameters such as net pr Read More

In order to meet the energy demand energy production must be done continuously. Hydrogen seems to be the best alternative for this energy production because it is both an environmentally friendly and renewable energy source. In this study the hydrogen fuel production of the peaceful nuclear explosives (PACER) fusion blanket as the energy source integrated with Fe–Cl thermochemical water splitting cycle have been investigated. Firstly neutronic a Read More

In the quest for decarbonisation alternative clean fuels for propulsion systems are sought. There is definite advantage in retaining the well-established principles of operation of combustion engines at the core of future developments with hydrogen as a fuel. Hydrogen is envisaged as a clean source of energy for propulsion of heavy and off-road vehicles as well as in marine and construction sectors. A source of concern is the unexplored effect of hydrog Read More

The flammable hydrogen-blended methane–air and natural gas–air mixtures raise specific safety and environmental issues in the industry and transportation; therefore their explosion characteristics such as the explosion limits explosion pressures and rates of pressure rise have significant importance from a safety point of view. At the same time the laminar burning velocities are the most useful parameters for practical applications and in basic studies for the Read More

In recent years the use of alternative fuels in thermal engine power plants has gained more and more attention becoming of paramount importance to overcome the use of fuels from fossil sources and to reduce polluting emissions. The present work deals with the analysis of the response to two different gas fuels—i.e. hydrogen and a syngas from agriculture product—of a 30 kW micro gas turbine integrated with a solar field. The solar field included a t Read More

Many countries have announced hydrogen promotion strategies to achieve net zero CO2 emissions around 2050. The cost of producing low-carbon (green and blue) hydrogen has been projected to fall considerably as production is scaled up although more so for green hydrogen than for blue hydrogen. This article uses a global computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to explore whether the cost reduction of green and blue hydrogen production c Read More

Nowadays one of the hottest topic in the automotive engineering community is the reduction of fossil fuels. Hydrogen is an alternative energy source that is already providing clean renewable and efficient power being used in fuel cells. Despite being developed since a few decades fuel cells are affected by several hurdles the most impacting one being their cost per unit power. While waiting for their cost reduction and mass-market penetration hydrogen-fuel Read More

The global population is predicted to increase from ~7.3 billion to over 9 billion people by 2050.Together with rising economic growth this is forecast to result in a 50% increase in fueldemand which will have to be met while reducing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions by 50–80%to maintain social political energy and climate security. This tension between rising fuel demandand the requirement for rapid global decarbonization highlights the need to fast-track th Read More

Currently the massive use of fossil fuels which still serve as the dominant global energy has led to the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases. Providing abundant clean and safe renewable energy is one of the major technical challenges for humankind. Nowadays hydrogen-based energy is widely considered a potentially ideal energy carrier that could provide clean energy in the fields of transportation heat and power generation and energy Read More

Thanks to the advantages of cleanliness high efficiency extensive sources and renewable energy hydrogen energy has gradually become the focus of energy development in the world’s major economies. At present the natural gas transportation pipeline network is relatively complete while hydrogen transportation technology faces many challenges such as the lack of technical specifications high safety risks and high investment costs which are the key factor Read More
