“…Then, the 215 papers that were not written in English and that had no clear relevancy by title and abstract were removed. The research team reviewed the remaining 11 peer-reviewed papers and found that only four of them had significance and are thus used in this study [20][21][22][23]. The selection process is shown in Figure 1.…”

“…In order to ensure zero carbon emissions, the electricity used for hydrogen production needs to be from renewable energy, such as solar and wind, making a stable energy supply at airports even harder. For example, providing a substantial airport with the electricity needed for electrolysis might necessitate the installation of several dedicated 400 kV overhead power lines, in contrast to just a single pipeline required to deliver an equivalent amount of hydrogen to the airport [22]. In addition, hydrogen production via electrolysis requires a large amount of high-purity water [49].…”

Hydrogen-fueled aircraft are a promising innovation for a sustainable future in aviation. While hydrogen aircraft design has been widely studied, research on airport requirements for new infrastructure associated with hydrogen-fueled aircraft and its integration with existing facilities is scarce. This study analyzes the current body of knowledge and identifies the planning challenges which need to be overcome to enable the operation of hydrogen flights at airports. An investigation of the preparation of seven major international airports for hydrogen-powered flights finds that, although there is commitment, airports are not currently prepared for hydrogen-based flights. Major adjustments are required across airport sites, covering land use plans, airside development, utility infrastructure development, and safety, security, and training. Developments are also required across the wider aviation industry, including equipment updates, such as for refueling and ground support, and supportive policy and regulations for hydrogen-powered aircraft. The next 5–10 years is identified from the review as a critical time period for airports, given that the first commercial hydrogen-powered flight is likely to depart in 2026 and that the next generation of short-range hydrogen-powered aircraft is predicted to enter service between 2030 and 2035.

“…The production of energy and chemicals from non-renewable fossil resources has resulted in substantial pollution, which has brought about a series of negative impacts on the climate and the environment. Therefore, it is urgent to develop alternative energy that is clean and sustainable [1][2][3]. Clean electrical energy has achieved much progress in the renewable energy field [4][5][6].…”

The hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of renewable fats or fatty acids into alkanes is a powerful measure to address energy and environmental crises. Molybdenum carbide-based catalysts are promising due to their platinum-like noble metal electronic properties. In this paper, Mo2C catalysts were prepared by one-step carbonization of amine molybdenum oxide (AMO) precursors using diamines with different carbon chain lengths as ligands. The physical and chemical properties and the HDO catalytic activity of the catalysts were investigated. The results indicate that as the carbon chain of diamines in the precursor increases, the carbon content of the catalysts in the surface and bulk phase increases. The Mo2C-12 catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic performance, with a palmitic acid conversion rate of 100% and an alkane selectivity of 96.6%, which are attributed to the smallest particle size, largest pore size, and synergistic effect of carbon. This work provides a simple and safe method for regulating the surface properties of Mo2C catalysts.

The transition to sustainable energy is crucial for mitigating climate change impacts. This study addresses this imperative by simulating a green hydrogen supply chain tailored for residential cooking in Oman. The supply chain encompasses solar energy production, underground storage, pipeline transportation, and residential application, aiming to curtail greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH). The simulation results suggest leveraging a robust 7 GW solar plant. Oman achieves an impressive annual production of 9.78 TWh of green hydrogen, equivalent to 147,808 tonnes of H2, perfectly aligning with the ambitious goals of Oman Vision 2040. The overall LCOH for the green hydrogen supply chain is estimated at a highly competitive 6.826 USD/kg, demonstrating cost competitiveness when benchmarked against analogous studies. A sensitivity analysis highlights Oman’s potential for cost-effective investments in green hydrogen infrastructure, propelling the nation towards a sustainable energy future. This study not only addresses the pressing issue of reducing carbon emissions in the residential sector but also serves as a model for other regions pursuing sustainable energy transitions. The developed simulation models are publicly accessible at https://hychain.co.uk, providing a valuable resource for further research and development in the field of green hydrogen supply chains.
