Green Hydrogen Production, Storage, and Fuel Cell Systems
This community focuses on the technical and economic integration of hydrogen into energy infrastructure, specifically covering the production of green hydrogen via electrolysis, its storage and transport, and its utilization in fuel cells and hybrid power systems.
The work centers on water electrolysis methods, including alkaline and proton exchange membrane technologies, to generate hydrogen from renewable sources. A significant portion of the research addresses the challenges of large-scale hydrogen storage, including liquid and underground reservoir solutions, and the integration of fuel cells into multi-energy systems. The community also extensively examines life cycle assessments and techno-economic analyses to evaluate the viability of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier, alongside studies on carbon capture and the decarbonization of industrial processes and electric vehicles.
The largest share of the community's output is found in hydrogen research, accounting for 4.1% of all hydrogen research, and comprising 24,207 papers here. Carbon research follows with 1.1% of that element's research and 9,720 papers.
The community comprises 41,080 papers, publishing most frequently in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, Energy, and Energy Conversion and Management. Recent work continues to focus on optimizing hydrogen-oriented multi-energy systems, assessing the global hydrogen budget, and exploring the use of depleted gas reservoirs for both carbon sequestration and hydrogen storage.
