Abstract
Hydrogen energy represents a promising solution for addressing global energy challenges, transitioning towards a low-carbon future, and mitigating the environmental impact of traditional fossil fuels. This review explores the multifaceted aspects of hydrogen energy, including production methods, storage technologies, fuel cell advancements, and the challenges and opportunities associated with its adoption. Important methods for producing hydrogen, including biomass gasification and electrolysis, are examined together with cutting-edge strategies for increasing sustainability and efficiency. The viability and safety of several hydrogen storage solutions, such as material-based absorption, cryogenic storage, and high-pressure tanks, are assessed. In the context of portable power production and clean transportation, the function of hydrogen fuel cells is examined, with particular attention to developments in Methanol Fuel Cell Direct (MFCDs) and Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs). Hydrogen energy faces challenges such as high production and storage costs, inadequate infrastructure, and safety concerns. Innovations in advanced electrolysis, solid-state storage, and renewable integration offer promising solutions. The review emphasizes the importance of lifecycle analysis to minimize emissions and resource consumption, reinforcing hydrogen’s role in a sustainable energy future.
