In the quest to achieve “double carbon” goals the urgency to develop an efficient Integrated Energy System (IES) is paramount. This study introduces a novel approach to IES by refining the conventional Power-to-Gas (P2G) system. The inability of current P2G systems to operate independently has led to the incorporation of hydrogen fuel cells and the detailed investigation of P2G’s dual-phase operation enhancing the integration of renewable energy s Read More

Hydrogen is viewed as a potential energy solution for the 21st century with capabilities to tackle issues relating to environmental emissions sustainability energy shortages and security. Even though there are potential benefits of renewable hydrogen towards transitioning to net-zero emissions there is a limited study on the current use ongoing development and future directions of renewable hydrogen in Australia. Thus this study conducts a systematic re Read More

Seawater electrolysis represents a promising green energy technology with significant potential for efficient energy conversion. This study provides an in-depth examination of the key scientific challenges inherent in the seawater-electrolysis process and their potential solutions. Initially it analyzes the potential issues of precipitation and aggregation at the cathode during hydrogen evolution proposing strategies such as self-cleaning cathodes and precipit Read More

The measurement of hydrogen concentration in fuel cell systems is an important prerequisite for the development of a control strategy to enhance system performance reduce purge losses and minimize fuel cell aging effects. In this perspective paper the working principles of hydrogen sensors are analyzed and their requirements for hydrogen control in fuel cell systems are critically discussed. The wide measurement range absence of oxygen high humidit Read More

The influence of mobility modes within Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) has gained limited attention despite their crucial role in reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Buildings in the European Union (EU) account for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions. In comparison transport contributes 28% of energy use and 25% of emissions with road transport responsible for 72% of these emissions. This study Read More

The low-carbon construction of integrated energy systems is a crucial path to achieving dual carbon goals with the power-generation side having the greatest potential for emissions reduction and the most direct means of reduction which is a current research focus. However existing studies lack the precise modeling of carbon capture devices and the cascaded utilization of hydrogen energy. Therefore this paper establishes a carbon capture power pla Read More

For the safe and efficient utilization of hydrogen-enriched natural gas combustion in industrial gas-fired boilers the present study adopted a combination of numerical simulation and field tests to investigate its adaptability. Firstly the combustion characteristics of hydrogen-enriched natural gas with different hydrogen blending ratios and equivalence ratios were evaluated by using the Chemkin Pro platform. Secondly a field experimental study was carri Read More

The circular economy and the clean-energy transition are inextricably linked and interdependent. One of the most important areas of the energy transition is the development of hydrogen energy. This study aims to review and systematize the data available in the literature on the environmental and economic parameters of hydrogen storage and transportation technologies (both mature and at high technological readiness levels). The study concluded th Read More

Increasing the share of renewable energy sources (RESs) in the energy mix of countries is one of the main objectives of the energy transition in national economies which must be established on circular economy principles. In the natural gas storage in geological structures (UGSs) natural gas is stored in a gas reservoir at high reservoir pressure. During a withdrawal cycle the energy of the stored pressurised gas is irreversibly lost at the reduction station Read More

In this paper an overview of commercial hydrogen separation technologies is given. These technologies are discussed and compared—with a detailed discussion on membrane-based technologies. An emerging and promising novel hydrogen separation technology namely electrochemical hydrogen separation (EHS) is reviewed in detail. EHS has many advantages over conventional separation systems (e.g. it is not energy intensive it is environ Read More
