The safety engineering design of hydrogen systems and infrastructure worker education and training regulatory compliance and engagement with other stakeholders are significant to the viability and public acceptance of hydrogen farms. The only way to ensure these are accomplished is for the field of hydrogen safety engineering (HSE) to grow and mature. HSE is described as the application of engineering and scientific principles to protect the Read More

To address the issues of diverse energy supply demands and power fluctuations in integrated energy systems (IESs) this study takes an IES composed of power-generation units such as wind and photovoltaic units along with various energy-storage systems including electrical thermal and hydrogen storage as the research subject. A collaborative control strategy is proposed for the IES which comprehensively considers the status of diverse energy-storag Read More

It is likely that blending hydrogen into natural gas grids could contribute to economy-wide decarbonization while retaining some of the benefits that natural gas networks offer energy systems. Hydrogen injection into existing natural gas infrastructure is recognised as a key solution for energy storage during periods of low electricity demand or high variable renewable energy penetration. In this scenario natural gas networks provide an energy vector p Read More

This report outlines the methods and assumptions used in the hydrogen technology market analysis. The results of the analysis are presented in The UK Hydrogen Innovation Opportunity and the supporting report Hydrogen technology roadmaps. They include forecasts for the following market data: ○ Global hydrogen economy The overall size of the global hydrogen economy in 2023 2030 and 2050.○ Global and UK hydrogen technology market by tec Read More

Hydrogen energy is crucial for achieving net zero targets making the resilience of hydrogen supply chains (HSCs) increasingly important. Understanding current research on HSC resilience is key to enhancing it. Few studies summarise HSC resilience evaluation methods and link them to the general supply chain resilience and complex adaptive system (CAS) evaluation approaches. This study addresses this gap by systematically reviewing the literatur Read More

Green hydrogen generated from water through renewable energies like solar and wind is a key player in sus tainable energy. It only produces water when used making it a clean energy source. However the inconsistent nature of solar and wind energy highlights the need for storage solutions where green hydrogen is promising. This study uniquely combines green hydrogen (GH) and renewable energy (RE) domains using a comprehensive bibliometri Read More

This study evaluated the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with hydrogen production in South Korea (hereafter referred to as Korea) using water electrolysis. Korea aims to advance hydrogen as a clean fuel for transportation and power generation. To support this goal we employed a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach to evaluate the emissions across the hydrogen supply chain in a well-to-pump framework using the Korean clean hydr Read More

Underground hydrogen storage in salt caverns is a promising solution for short-term storage allowing multiple cycles per year. This study experimentally investigates the integrity of such caverns and their wellbores under operating conditions typical of German salt caverns. Specifically we measure the permeability of rock salt cement (API Class G and High Magnesium Resistant (HMR+)) rock salt-anhydrite composites cement-salt composites and Read More

Green hydrogen produced by water electrolysis using renewable energy sources (RES) is an emerging technology that aligns with sustainable development goals and efforts to address climate change. In addition to energy electrolyzers require ultrapure water to operate. Although seawater is abundant on the Earth it must be desalinated and further purified to meet the electrolyzer’s feeding water quality requirements. This paper reviews seawater purifi Read More

At present energy demands are mainly covered by the use of fossil fuels. The process of fossil fuel production increases pollution from oil extraction transport to processing centers treatment to obtain lighter fractions and delivery and use by the final consumers. Such polluting circumstances are aggravated in the case of accidents involving fossil fuels. They are also linked to speculative markets. As a result the trend is towards the decarbo Read More
