Production & Supply Chain

Deployment of innovative renewable-based energy applications are critical for reducing CO2 emissions and achieving global climate neutrality. This work evaluates the production of decarbonized green H2 based on sorption-enhanced biomass (sawdust) gasification. The calcium-based sorbent was evaluated in a looping cycle configuration as sorption material to enhance both the CO2 capture rate and the energy-efficient hydrogen production. The investi Read More

With rapidly depleting fossil fuels and growing environmental alarms due to their usage hydrogen as an energy vector provides a clean and sustainable solution. However the challenge lies in replacing mature fossil fuel technology with efficient and economical hydrogen production. This paper provides a technoeconomic and environmental overview of H2 production technologies. Reforming of fossil fuels is still considered as the backbone of large-s Read More

Hydrogen produced via water electrolysis from renewable electricity is considered a key energy carrier to defossilize hard-to-electrify sectors. Solid oxide cells (SOC) based reactors can supply hydrogen not only in electrolysis but also in fuel cell mode when operating with (synthetic) natural gas or biogas at low conversion (polygeneration mode). However the scale-up of SOC reactors to the multi-MW scale is still a research topic. Strategies for transient op Read More

To achieve a more ecologically friendly energy transition by the year 2050 under the European “green” accord hydrogen has recently gained significant scientific interest due to its efficiency as an energy carrier. This paper focuses on large-scale hydrogen production systems based on marine renewable-energy-based wind turbines and tidal turbines. The paper reviews the different technologies of hydrogen production using water electrolyzers ene Read More

The research motivation of this paper is to utilize the large amount of energy wasted during the LNG (liquefied natural gas) gasification process and proposes a synergistic liquefied hydrogen (LH2) production and storage process scheme for LNG receiving station and methane reforming hydrogen production process - SMR-LNG combined liquefied hydrogen production system which uses the cold energy from LNG to pre-cool the hydrogen and subseque Read More

Combining electrolytic hydrogen production with wind–photovoltaic power can effectively smooth the fluctuation of power and enhance the schedulable wind–photovoltaic power which provides an effective solution to solve the problem of wind–photovoltaic power accommodation. In this paper the optimization operation strategy is studied for the wind–photovoltaic power-based hydrogen production system. Firstly to make up for the deficiency of the existi Read More

The technique of producing hydrogen by utilizing green and renewable energy sources is called green hydrogen production. Therefore by implementing this technique hydrogen will become a sustainable and clean energy source by lowering greenhouse gas emissions and reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. The key beneft of producing green hydrogen by utilizing green energy is that no harmful pollutants or greenhouse gases are directly released through Read More

The conversion of solar to chemical energy is one of the central processes considered in the emerging renewable energy economy. Hydrogen production from water splitting over particulate semiconductor catalysts has often been proposed as a simple and a cost-effective method for largescale production. In this review we summarize the basic concepts of the overall water splitting (in the absence of sacrificial agents) using particulate photocatalysts wit Read More

From navigating the rainbow of colours to the lack of consensus in establishing a common taxonomy the labelling and definition of green or renewable hydrogen presents a growing challenge. In this context carbon taxonomy is understood through five critical aspects: carbon intensity temporal and geographical correlation additionality of renewable energy generation and different system boundaries in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This study Read More

The European Union (EU) imports a large amount of natural gas and the injection of renewable hydrogen (H2) into the natural gas systems could help decarbonize the sector. The new geopolitical and energy market situation demands urgent actions in the clean energy transition and energy independence from fossil fuels. This paper aims to investigate techno-economic analysis barriers and constraints in the EU policies/frameworks that affect natura Read More
