“…The electricity in this process can be powered by renewable energy sources and obtained through low-carbon or carbon-free methods. Using renewable hydrogen production is a hot research topic in new energy sources, including wind hydrogen [33], solar water splitting to hydrogen, nuclear hydrogen production, and hydrogen production from biomass. Storing energy in the form of hydrogen is a promising alternative to green energy; if hydrogen is to realize its potential to be an energy vector in a decarbonized economy, it needs to be produced on a sustainable scale [34].…”

The crisscross progress of transportation and energy carries the migrating track of human society development and the evolution of civilization, among which the decarbonization strategy is a key issue. Traffic carbon emissions account for 16.2% of total energy carbon emissions, while road traffic carbon emissions account for 11.8% of total energy carbon emissions. Therefore, road traffic is a vital battlefield in attaining the goal of decarbonization. Employing clean energy as an alternative fuel is of great significance to the transformation of the energy consumption structure in road transportation. Hydrogen and ammonia are renewable energy with the characteristics of being widely distributed and clean. Both exist naturally in nature, and the products of complete combustion are substances (water and nitrogen) that do not pollute the atmosphere. Because it can promote agricultural production, ammonia has a long history in human society. Both have the potential to replace traditional fossil fuel energy. An overview of the advantages of hydrogen and ammonia, as well as their development in different countries such as the United States, the European Union, Japan, and other major development regions is presented in this paper. Related research topics of hydrogen and ammonia’s production, storage and transferring technology have also been analyzed and collated to stimulate the energy production chain for road transportation. The current cost of green hydrogen is between $2.70–$8.80 globally, which is expected to approach $2–$6 by 2030. Furthermore, the technical development of hydrogen and ammonia as a fuel for engines and fuel cells in road transportation is compared in detail, and the tests, practical applications and commercial popularization of these technologies are summarized, respectively. Opportunities and challenges coexist in the era of the renewable energy. Based on the characteristics and development track of hydrogen and ammonia, the joint development of these two types of energy is meant to be imperative. The collaborative development mode of hydrogen and ammonia, together with the obstacles to their development of them are both compared and discussed. Finally, referring to the efforts and experiences of different countries in promoting hydrogen and ammonia in road transportation, corresponding constructive suggestions have been put forward for reference. At the end of the paper, a framework diagram of hydrogen and ammonia industry chains is provided, and the mutual promotion development relationship of the two energy sources is systematically summarized.

“…Configuring energy storage systems is a necessary choice to overcome the obstacles of renewable energy access to the power system and maintain system stability, which not only can reduce the impact of uncertainty on power system operation, but also can increase the consumption of renewable energy. Compared with conventional energy storage methods such as pumped storage and electrochemical energy storage, hydrogen energy storage is the most suitable way for large-scale and long-term energy storage of centralized renewable energy (Elberry et al, 2021). Besides, as a clean energy, the product of hydrogen is mainly water, which makes hydrogen is considered to be the key lever for decarbonization of power system in the future.…”

To improve the consumption of wind energy and reduce carbon emission, this paper proposes a wind-thermal interconnected low-carbon power system integrated with hydrogen storage. An energy scheduling optimization model aiming at minimizing the daily operation cost of the system is constructed considering environmental operation cost quantification, and Whale Optimization Algorithm is used to optimize multiple variables. Finally, in simulation example, various scenarios are set considering the application way of hydrogen and the scenarios with and without the carbon capture and storage (CCS) are optimized respectively. The horizontal comparison results show that the system with hydrogen production (S2) and the system with hydrogen fuel cell (S3) have higher economic operation cost than that of wind-thermal interconnected power system only (S1), but the environmental cost is reduced. The wind curtailment rate decreases from 11.0% (S1) to 3.8% (S2 and S3) without CCS, and from 9.0% (S1) to 2.1% (S2 and S3) with CCS. The longitudinal comparison shows that the thermal power output is reduced and the wind power consumption is improved with CCS. The total operating cost increases, but the environmental cost decreases significantly. Configuring hydrogen storage system in the wind-thermal interconnected power system can effectively promote the consumption of wind energy and reduce the system operation cost, however, the utilization of CCS is economic unfriendly at present.
