Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technologies

• There are several applications for hydrogen, an
  energy source that is flexible and clean.
  Hydrogen is the most common and lightest chemical
  element in the universe. Hydrogen, which is the
  building block of the cosmos, is also necessary
  for a variety of chemical reactions and
  processes.

Hydrogen is a clean, adaptable energy source that
has a wide range of uses. These are some of the
most widely utilized hydrogen technologies, along
with a comparison of the benefits and drawbacks
of each

1. Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) Approximately 95
   of hydrogen produced worldwide is produced via
   SMR, the most widely used technology. In the
   presence of a catalyst, methane and steam are
   reacted to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen. SMR
   is a well-established technology that is
   reasonably priced, effective, and produces carbon
   dioxide as a byproducta factor in climate
   change.
2. Electrolysis Water is split into hydrogen and
   oxygen by a process called electrolysis, which
   runs on electricity. Alkaline and proton exchange
   membrane (PEM) electrolysis are the two forms. A
   well-established technique, alkaline electrolysis
   is less effective than PEM electrolysis but is
   still reasonably priced. PEM electrolysis is a
   relatively new technology that costs more than
   alkaline electrolysis but is more efficient.
3. Biomass Gasification The process of biomass
   gasification entails heating organic
   materialslike wood or agricultural wastewithout
   the presence of oxygen in order to create a gas
   that can be refined into hydrogen. Although
   biomass gasification is a renewable and carbon
   neutral technique of producing hydrogen, it is
   not cheap and needs a large volume of biomass
   fuel.

• Nuclear Water is divided using high-temperature
  nuclear reactors in the nuclear hydrogen
  generation process. Though costly and raising
  questions about the security and safety of
  nuclear reactors, this technology produces
  hydrogen without emitting carbon.
• Photobiological The process of producing
  hydrogen by photosynthetic microorganisms,
  including algae, is known as photobiological
  hydrogen generation. Although still in the
  research and development stage, this technique
  has the potential to be carbon-neutral and
  renewable for the production of hydrogen.
• Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOEC) Water is
  divided into hydrogen and oxygen in SOECs using a
  ceramic electrolyte. Despite being in its early
  stages of research and development, this
  technology is effective.
• Thermochemical Hydrogen can be produced
  thermochemically from fossil fuels or other
  sources by combining heat and chemical reactions.
  Though research and development are still
  ongoing, this approach has the potential to be
  carbon neutral.

• Explanation of Hydrogen Technologies
• Technology and procedures related to the
  creation, distribution, storage, and use of
  hydrogen as an energy source are collectively
  referred to as hydrogen technologies. Energy
  needs can be met while reducing environmental
  impact by utilizing hydrogen, the most plentiful
  element in the universe, in a variety of forms.
