“…The development of hydrogen as a transport fuel is slower and later than electrification. A few cities have some hydrogen-fueled buses, including India [71], but the number and range of FCVs on the market are still very limited. A great deal of work remains to develop a hydrogen transport industry, refueling infrastructure and standardization.…”

By considering the weight penalty of batteries on payload and total vehicle weight, this paper shows that almost all forms of land-based transport may be served by battery electric vehicles (BEV) with acceptable cost and driving range. Only long-distance road freight is unsuitable for battery electrification. The paper models the future Indian electricity grid supplied entirely by low-carbon forms of generation to quantify the additional solar PV power required to supply energy for transport. Hydrogen produced by water electrolysis for use as a fuel for road freight provides an inter-seasonal energy store that accommodates variations in renewable energy supply. The advantages and disadvantages are considered of midday electric vehicle charging vs. overnight charging considering the temporal variations in supply of renewable energy and demand for transport services. There appears to be little to choose between these two options in terms of total system costs. The result is an energy scenario for decarbonized surface transport in India, based on renewable energy, that is possible, realistically achievable, and affordable in a time frame of year 2050.

“…H 2 can be produced from waste biomass, steam reforming, syngas utilization, coal, and natural gas [ 59 ]. The conventional methods for H 2 production are highly energy intensive and can be done at very high temperatures ranging from 970—1100 K. This energy-intensive process also produces carbon dioxide, which is not economically feasible for commercial scale [ 60 ]. Biological hydrogen production can be produced by cyanobacteria, microalgae, and photosynthetic microorganisms through microbial biophotolysis and fermentation.…”

Microalgae have received much interest as a biofuel feedstock. However, the economic feasibility of biofuel production from microalgae does not satisfy capital investors. Apart from the biofuels, it is necessary to produce high-value co-products from microalgae fraction to satisfy the economic aspects of microalgae biorefinery. In addition, microalgae-based wastewater treatment is considered as an alternative for the conventional wastewater treatment in terms of energy consumption, which is suitable for microalgae biorefinery approaches. The energy consumption of a microalgae wastewater treatment system (0.2 kW/h/m3) was reduced 10 times when compared to the conventional wastewater treatment system (to 2 kW/h/m3). Microalgae are rich in various biomolecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, pigments, vitamins, and antioxidants; all these valuable products can be utilized by nutritional, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. There are several bottlenecks associated with microalgae biorefinery. Hence, it is essential to promote the sustainability of microalgal biorefinery with innovative ideas to produce biofuel with high-value products. This review attempted to bring out the trends and promising solutions to realize microalgal production of multiple products at an industrial scale. New perspectives and current challenges are discussed for the development of algal biorefinery concepts.

“…All these properties may get longer the ID and CD for BHO biodiesel. [64][65][66][67][68] Then with the injection of hydrogen gases, the CD is getting longer. It can be associated with the deteriorated air-flow ratio due to the lacking of oxygen molecules during the injection of hydrogen gases.…”
