Next Generation Hydrogen Production

Given the pricing volatility of petroleum-based fuels, geopolitical instability influencing their supply and public awareness of their effect on the environment, investors are increasingly supporting clean energy sources. Hydrogen`s minimal impact on the environment makes it an excellent potential source for mobile, distributed and even centralised power. Hydrogen production technology is a key step in making this clean energy carrier economically available on a wide scale. This study addresses in detail those technologies being developed for converting feedstocks into hydrogen. It examines candidate hydrogen production systems and provides insight into the most viable technologies while addressing the advantages and disadvantages for meeting economically feasible hydrogen production.
