Review: Uninterrupted Liquid Hydrogen (E-Methanol) Production framework to deliver Clean & Green Energy

Abstract

Potential broad impact: Integrating solar, wind, and conventional energy to feed the electrolyze after completion of the electrochemical process will produce two streams of O2 and H2. The hydrogen stream will be stored and provided with uninterrupted feed to a catalytic reactor in the presence of CO2. It will produce EMethanol[1]. However, this depends on these resources' reliability, cost, and availability, with the highest potential for expansion to the size needed for large-scale deployment to produce e-methanol[2]. This is known as electro-fuel, which provides electricity and fuel for electric and diesel vehicles[3][4]. As witnessed the versatility of Hydrogen in these applications highlights its significance in various industrial sectors. As the world looks towards sustainable and clean energy solutions, the role of Hydrogen is expected to grow even further [5]. However, the central part of Hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels (known as gray and brown Hydrogen) [6], and only a minimal amount of almost 4% is delivered through an electrolysis process using renewable energy to complete the chemical process [7], known as green Hydrogen. The transition to a more sustainable hydrogen economy involves scaling up the production of green Hydrogen through electrolysis and advancing technologies to improve efficiency and reduce costs associated with this process [8],[9]. Recently research indicated that production and consumption of the Green Hydrogen is the future of sustainable power delivery by replacing fossil fuel [10]. The fossil and Biomass also catalyzing the GHG (Green House Gases) with high carbon intensity, this is biggest challenge to deliver clean energy [11]. In the first instance, this research proposed an integrated Modular, which incorporate Renewable(photovoltaic) and Conventional Power sources to complete electrolysis process and its port equipment(s) to deliver uninterrupted clean Energy inform of Liquid Green Hydrogen for Electricity and to replace diesel [12]]13].
