READ MOREHydrogen production from carbon-lean and carbon-free energy sources, including renewable electricity, biomass and nuclear energy could be the long-term aim of the hydrogen utopia [13]. However, in the medium term, fossil fuels are projected to be applied in hydrogen production scenario.
READ MOREHydrogen is a clean fuel without toxic emissions and can easily be applied in fuel cells for electricity generation. Indeed, the energy yield of hydrogen is about 122 kJ/g, which is 2.75 times greater than hydrocarbon fuels [12].Application of hydrogen in transportation system whether as a fuel in combustion engines or fuel cell in electric has
READ MORE3 · Clean hydrogen produced with renewable or nuclear energy, or fossil fuels using carbon capture, can help to decarbonise a range of sectors, including long-haul transport, chemicals, and iron and steel, where it has proven difficult to reduce emissions. Hydrogen-powered vehicles would improve air quality and promote energy security.
READ MORE6 · Combined with the expected drop in the cost of renewable energy, this can bring the cost of renewable-based hydrogen down to a range fo USD 1.3-4.5/kg H 2 (equivalent to USD 39-135/MWh). The lower end of this range is in regions with good access to renewable energy where renewable hydrogen could already be structurally competitive
READ MOREHowever, hydrogen is not a primary energy source but an energy vector, that is, it requires a chemical process to produce it. You have probably heard that hydrogen is a renewable fuel, but this is not always

READ MORE2 · Hydrogen can be produced from diverse, domestic resources. Currently, most hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels, specifically natural gas. Electricity—from the grid or from renewable sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, or biomass—is also currently used to produce hydrogen. In the longer term, solar energy and biomass can be used
READ MOREHydrogen is poised to play a key role in the energy transition by decarbonizing hard-to-electrify sectors and enabling the storage, transport, and trade of renewable energy. Recent forecasts project a thousand-fold expansion of global water electrolysis capacity as early as 2030. In this context, several electrolysis technologies

READ MORERenewable hydrogen is promoted in the EU via several instruments including the targets set out in the Renewable Energy Directive.. To ensure that the hydrogen is produced from renewable energy sources and achieves at least 70% greenhouse gas emissions savings, the Commission adopted in June 2023 two delegated acts.. The new rules will apply to
READ MORESome scientists believe hydrogen energy may be a cleaner, more efficient way to power our world. Hydrogen is a naturally occurring gas, and it is the most abundant substance in the universe. (The word in Greek means "water former" because hydrogen creates water when burned.) Clean hydrogen is hydrogen produced with
READ MORERenewable hydrogen will also provide a vital function to support wider system integration, delivering the flexibility required to meet the needs of a transitioning energy system. Developing a renewable hydrogen industry in the UK is in its infancy. Ørsted believes that, in the same way the cost of generating wind power has dropped by more than
