Abstract: Decarbonization of the energy sector is a topic of paramount importance to avoid irreversible global warming. Hydrogen has been considered as the most suitable option to replace fossil fuels in industrial, residential and transport applications. However, hydrogen production has been almost limited to the reforming of hydrocarbons, which release large amounts of CO2, thus requiring several downstream purification processes.
