The decarbonization of hard-to-abate industries is crucial for keeping global warming to below 2 o C. Green or renewable hydrogen, synthesized through water electrolysis, has emerged as a sustainable alternative for fossil fuels in energy-intensive sectors such as aluminum, cement, chemicals, steel, and transportation. However, the scalability of green hydrogen production faces challenges including infrastructure gaps, energy losses, excessive power consumption, and high costs throughout the value chain. Therefore, this study analyzes the challenges within the green hydrogen value chain, focusing on the development of nascent technologies. Presenting a comprehensive synthesis of contemporary knowledge, this study assesses the potential impacts of green hydrogen on hard-to-abate sectors, emphasizing the expansion of clean energy infrastructure. Through an exploration of emerging renewable hydrogen technologies, the study investigates aspects such as economic feasibility, sustainability assessments, and the achievement of carbon neutrality. Additionally, considerations extend to the potential for large-scale renewable electricity storage and the realization of net-zero goals. The findings of this study suggest that emerging technologies have the potential to significantly increase green hydrogen production, offering affordable solutions for decarbonization. The study affirms that global-scale green hydrogen production could satisfy up to 24% of global energy needs by 2050, resulting in the abatement of 60 gigatons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions -equivalent to 6% of total cumulative CO 2 emission reductions. To comprehensively evaluate the impact of the hydrogen economy on ecosystem decarbonization, this article analyzes the feasibility of three business models that emphasize choices for green hydrogen production and delivery. Finally, the study proposes potential directions for future research on hydrogen valleys, aiming to foster interconnected hydrogen ecosystems.

Storing energy in hydrogen has been recognized by scientists as one of the most effective ways of storing energy for many reasons. The first of these reasons is the availability of technology for producing hydrogen from water using electrolytic methods. Another aspect is the availability of relatively cheap energy from renewable energy sources. Moreover, you can count on the availability of large amounts of this energy. The aim of this article is to support the decision-making processes related to the production of yellow hydrogen using a strategic model which exploits the metalog family of probability distributions. This model allows us to calculate, with accuracy regarding the probability distribution, the amount of energy produced by photovoltaic systems with a specific peak power. Using the model in question, it is possible to calculate the expected amount of electricity produced daily from the photovoltaic system and the corresponding amount of yellow hydrogen produced. Such a strategic model may be appropriate for renewable energy developers who build photovoltaic systems intended specifically for the production of yellow and green hydrogen. Based on our model, they can estimate the size of the photovoltaic system needed to produce the assumed hydrogen volume. The strategic model can also be adopted by producers of green and yellow hydrogen. Due to precise calculations, up to the probability distribution, the model allows us to calculate the probability of providing the required energy from a specific part of the energy mix.

“…In recent years, with global population growth, improved living standards, and industrial development, the world’s demand for energy is increasing rapidly. Currently, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas remain the primary sources to meet this demand. − However, with the continuous increase in energy demand, serious issues have arisen regarding the supply of fossil fuels. − It is estimated that currently, the reserves of fossil fuels can support oil for up to 40 years, natural gas for 60 years, and coal for 156 years . In addition, the use of traditional fossil fuels has raised concerns about climate change and pollutants’ impact on human health. ,− The depletion of these finite resources and their environmental impact have prompted a large number of researchers to delve into the utilization of low-carbon energy sources. − Global energy forms have gradually transitioned from solid to liquid and then to gas (Figure a).…”

As the consumption rate of traditional fossil fuels continues to accelerate and environmental issues become increasingly severe, energy demand has become an urgent concern. In this context, hydrogen, as a clean and efficient energy source, has received widespread attention. However, because of its low density and gaseous nature, the storage of hydrogen faces challenging issues. Currently, storing hydrogen through compression and liquefaction methods is the most mature and widely adopted approach. However, the high pressure of gaseous storage and the issue of evaporation loss in liquid storage have driven the continuous development of solid-state storage. Among them, solid-state hydrogen storage methods, such as ammonia and metal hydrides, have received widespread attention. This is because these two storage methods do not involve carbon, which is more conducive to addressing environmental pollution issues. In this work, we review the gaseous, liquid, and solid-state storage methods of hydrogen; recapitulate hydrogen storage strategies; and investigate the latest developments in this field. Furthermore, we analyze the storage of carbonfree mediums, such as ammonia and certain metal alloy hydrides. These studies are expected to promote the healthy development of the hydrogen energy industry and make significant contributions to sustainable development.
