Insights on Hydrogen Production by Thermochemical and Biological Techniques

The quota of renewable energy in the total primary energy supply is expected to rise from 14% in 2015 to 63% in 2050. Major economies have started to explore the benefits of renewable energy sources to compete for their share in the world energy market. Also, the rising trend towards sustainability, greener, and cleaner sources of energy is what the future will be dependent on. With the exhaustion of fossil fuels in a few decades, hydrogen fuels will have the best prospect in replacing conventional energy sources leading to the evolution of a sustainable hydrogen economy. Hydrogen as a fuel has a high energy density and virtually produces no harmful emissions. This paper scrutinized the diverse hydrogen production techniques and safe and effective storage methods. With the development of hydrogen production from renewable bio-mass and sophisticated storage facilities, the days are not far from harnessing the complete potential of hydrogen energy and hydrogen fuels to dominate the energy sector.
