Abstract:

It is already a known fact that the prolonged usage of fossil fuels is of detriment to the environment, and thereby our existence in it. While there is continued interest in various alternate forms of energy such as solar and wind, this paper chooses to focus on green hydrogen, and its production from green electricity. The science behind using green hydrogen for energy as well as methods that are in practice or research are discussed here. Lastly, the viability of green hydrogen with respect to other forms of energy and steps to integrate it into the current energy system are mentioned.

I. Introduction

The commercial exploitation of fossil fuels began in the 19th century [1]. Ever since then, it has transitioned from a valuable to a necessity to a crutch for human existence. It plays an integral role in most processes that require energy, which only serves to increase its detrimental impact on the earth and its inhabitants. This has inspired a great deal of interest and innovation in alternate energy sources, such as solar and wind energy. The earth presents a bountiful supply of hydrogen, which takes up over 75% of the universe due to its presence in various chemical compounds. Presently, the entire worldwide hydrogen production is around 500 billion cubic meters per year [2]. This is one reason why the field of hydrogen warrants interest. Another reason would be because of various policy makers aiming to decarbonize the energy sector in an attempt to mitigate the effects of climate change. This paper presents the research done on green hydrogen, its viability and advantages, and how it compares to other alternative energy sources.
