Le et al. RSC Adv. 2023; 13: 28262 | Highlighted on Fuelcons

This review by Le et al. delves into the evolving landscape of hydrogen energy. Over the past decade, there has been a significant shift away from traditional fossil fuels like coal and gas. Renewable energy sources, including hydrogen, are emerging as the future of energy supply. The article highlights that while most hydrogen today is derived from fossil fuels, there is a growing emphasis on producing “green hydrogen” from renewable sources.

The authors discuss various production methods, each with its pros and cons. They also touch upon the increasing global demand for green hydrogen, especially in heavy industries and transportation. The paper underscores the need for research into efficient hydrogen storage and transportation, given its rising demand. The authors conclude by emphasizing the transformative potential of hydrogen in driving a sustainable energy future.
