Hydrogen as an Alternative to Fossil Fuels: Production and Storage
摘要
The significant increase in global energy demand is contributed to by rapid urbanisation, industrialisation, and population growth. Greenhouse gas emissions are caused using fossil fuels, the primary energy source, leading to global warming and serious public health issues, particularly in heavily industrialised regions. The need to transition to alternative energy sources is growing, and hydrogen is becoming a key element in achieving net-zero emissions goals as a clean and carbon-free fuel. Several hydrogen production technologies are examined in this text, including hydrolysis, natural gas reforming, coal gasification, and biomass gasification. Hydrogen fuel storage technologies are described and divided into two main groups: physical and material. The highlighted prospects for using hydrogen as an alternative, environmentally friendly fuel.
