Abstract:
The global energy sector is currently undergoing a fundamental transformation as it shifts away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources. Green hydrogen is one of the most promising energy carriers of the future in the worldwide effort to reduce the carbon footprint of energy systems. The advancement and uptake of green hydrogen technologies depend on various technological, environmental, and economic factors. In this paper, a comprehensive review of recent studies in green hydrogen energy systems (GHES) is conducted, highlighting technoeconomic aspects from the component to the technology and broader system level. Firstly, the technological principles and recent progress of different green hydrogen generation, storage, and utilization technologies are summarized. Subsequently, an in-depth analysis of various technoeconomic modeling and experimental activities focused on integrated GHES is undertaken. By examining applications in the stationary and transport sectors, this review paper offers an assessment of the current state-of-the-art in terms of development and integration options. The technical challenges, key factors, and future research directions of green hydrogen technologies and systems are outlined, demonstrating that an effective, intelligent, and innovative integration of GHES with other technologies will encourage a more efficient use of resources and enhanced energy system flexibility, resilience, and energy security.
