Introduction to Advances in Sustainable Hydrogen Energy
Nader Karimi, Larry K. B. Li, Manosh C. Paul, Mohammad Hossein Doranehgard and Freshteh Sotoudeh introduce the RSC Advances themed issue on Advances in Sustainable Hydrogen Energy.
Review Article
The current status of hydrogen energy: an overview
Hydrogen fuel sources will undoubtedly become the center of the future fuel revolution to replace fossil fuels. As a result, there is an increased demand for research into methods and solutions for producing clean hydrogen.
Review Article
A mini-review on liquid air energy storage system hybridization, modelling, and economics: towards carbon neutrality
LAES design, background, limitations, and the associated techno-economic analysis is reviewed, focusing on the recent modelling, and integration with other systems, which was found to boost the system performance, and increase the profit.
Review Article
Sustainable hydrogen generation and storage – a review
This paper reviews the renewable hydrogen generation pathways, along with purification and storage technologies, and discusses the hydrogen economy and future prospects from an Indian context.
Review Article
Research progress on MOFs and their derivatives as promising and efficient electrode materials for electrocatalytic hydrogen production from water
Hydrogen energy is considered to be the most potential “ultimate energy source” due to its high combustion calorific value, cleanliness, and pollution-free characteristics.
Review Article
Recent advances in dynamic modeling and control studies of biomass gasification for production of hydrogen rich syngas
Modeling strategies via Aspen Plus® for biomass gasification were assessed. Dynamic modeling can be essential in aiding control studies of biomass gasification process using Aspen Dynamics. Model predictive control is a widely recognized optimal controller for biomass gasification.
Review Article
Microwave-enhanced hydrogen production: a review
Microwave-enhanced hydrogen production. A new technology toward hydrogen society and achieving carbon neutrality.
Paper
Effects of throat sizing and gasification agents in a biomass downdraft gasifier: towards CO2-free syngas production
The influence of throat diameter and gasifying medium on gasifier performance is investigated using a CFD model. Lower throat ratios favour higher gasification efficiency, carbon conversion, and producer gas yield, with potential to reduce CO2 emissions by 50%.
Paper
H2-rich syngas production from gasification involving kinetic modeling: RSM-utility optimization and techno-economic analysis
In this research article, H2 rich syngas production is optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) and a utility concept involving chemical kinetic modeling considering eucalyptus wood sawdust (CH1.63O1.02) as gasification feedstock.
Paper
A novel two-zone sequential optimization model for pyro-oxidation and reduction reactions in a downdraft gasifier
Pyro-oxidation and reduction reactions in a downdraft gasifier optimized for improved carbon conversion efficiency and calorific value.
About this collection
This themed collection has been motivated by the new wave of research on the design, analysis, and assessment of future hydrogen energy systems. Thermodynamic, technoeconomic and environmental analyses are central to such efforts to complement elements of socioeconomics and policy making. The purpose of this collection is to bring together the latest research findings of the international, multidisciplinary community of hydrogen energy on the system-level analyses of hydrogen technologies.
This collection is Guest Edited by Nader Karimi (Queen Mary University of London, UK), Manosh C. Paul (University of Glasgow, UK), Mohammad Hossein Doranehgard (University of Alberta, Canada), Larry K. B. Li (The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong), and Freshteh Sotoudeh (Houston University, USA).
