Abstract
Hydrogen energy has the advantages of low carbon and cleanliness, high energy density, and high conversion efficiency; it is expected to play a pivotal role in Eastern Asia and the MENA region’s energy transition. The research status and development prospects of various technologies in hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, and hydrogen use are analyzed. On this basis, specific technical paths for developing renewable energy and integrated energy service parks coupled with hydrogen energy are proposed. Solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) electrolysis hydrogen production and solid material hydrogen storage are the most potential development in directions of hydrogen production and hydrogen storage. Technologies such as hydrogen fuel cell and natural gas hydrogen mixture in the hydrogen use link should be simultaneously promoted. The organic combination of wind/light-abandoned hydrogen production by electrolysis of water, wind power/photovoltaic off-grid hydrogen production with fuel cell power generation, hydrogen refueling station supply, methanol production, and natural gas hydrogen mixing technology would effectively solve the uneconomical and transportation difficulties of renewable energy hydrogen production. At the same time, hydrogen energy can realize the interconnection of multiple energy networks, and its application prospects in the future integrated energy service parks are very broad.
Highlights
The massive use of fossil energy has brought about various environmental, ecological, and global climat e changes [1]
The United States is an advocate of the hydrogen energy economy and one of the most important countries to promote the development of hydrogen energy [7]
This paper aims to overview the current situation of the hydrogen industry and its potential growth opportunities to know the advantages and disadvantages of the hydrogen industry
Summary
The massive use of fossil energy has brought about various environmental, ecological, and global climat e changes [1] It became the conscious action of all countries to solve the dilemma actively and accelerated the development of energy transition, and the development of clean and low-carbon energy; which has a general trend [2]. As governments and international oil companies move toward hydrogen fuel production; especially the green type, which comes fro m the electrolysis of water using solar or wind energy, majo r oil producers in their own Persian Gulf region have joined the global movement. One of the emirates of the United Arab Emirates, OPEC’s third-largest oil producer, has partnered with the German company Siemens to launch the first industrial-scale green hydrogen production complex in the Middle East and North Africa region. Dubai Electricity and Water Company and Dubai Expo 2020 contributed to this huge project [12]
