A perspective of the scope, role, production and transmission of hydrogen as an energy source

Abstract

An account on the increasing demand for fuels over the last two centuries is provided. The significance of accelerated global climatic change and the need to achieve net-zero carbon emission are described. Accessible energy options are analysed as well. The scope, role and economic advantages of hydrogen in the future are examined. The relevant properties of hydrogen as a fuel are provided, and the challenges and benefits of using hydrogen as a fuel are discussed. Finally, aspects of the transmission of hydrogen and the available ways for the production of hydrogen are evaluated.
