Summary: This article assesses and summarizes the properties, production, transportation, utilization, and storage of hydrogen as an energy carrier. Various methods of hydrogen production are discussed, with photocatalytic water splitting technology being the most environmentally friendly. Underground hydrogen storage in a geologic porous medium is highlighted as the largest and most affordable storage capacity. However, further research is needed on the compatibility of hydrogen with reservoir fluid and other safety concerns.

Summary: This study focused on a universal method for determining power reallocation and capacity configuration for a grid-connected PV power station integrated hydrogen production system, with a case study conducted at a 100 MW PV demonstration base in Qinghai province, China. Results showed that liquid hydrogen is more suitable for long-distance transportation, the 5-segment grid connection mode is optimal, and the best capacity configuration for the hydrogen production system is three sets of 800 Nm3/hr electrolyzers and 3 MW of the liquefier, leading to reduced CO2 emissions.

Summary: The storage and transportation of hydrogen as an energy carrier face challenges, limiting its wider adoption. This study investigates various chemical energy carriers and their suitability for different applications in power generation, shipping, trucking, and aviation. The findings suggest that power generation benefits from hydrogen delivered without a carrier, while aviation can benefit from either ammonia or hydrogen. Ammonia appears to be a good medium for shipping hydrogen, and cryogenic or compressed hydrogen is suitable for long-haul trucking.

Summary: This paper proposes a system modelling approach to identify configurations of flexible nuclear plants that minimize costs. The results suggest that cost-efficient flexible nuclear configurations should adapt to the system they are located in. The lowest-cost system configuration includes additional secondary generation capacity, thermal storage capacity, and a discharging duration of 2.2 hours.

Summary: Nuclear energy is essential for achieving a cheap and abundant primary energy supply without relying on carbon and hydrocarbon fuels. This article discusses the development of high-temperature gas-cooled reactors for generating electricity through advanced ultra-supercritical (AUSC) Rankine cycles and producing hydrogen through electrolysis (with secondary heat transfer fluid temperatures below 750°C), as well as hydrogen production through direct thermochemical cycles at temperatures of 950 to 1000°C on top of AUSC electricity production.

Summary: Widely available and low-cost solar photovoltaics and wind power can enable production of renewable electricity-based hydrogen, which can be used as a feedstock for further processing. However, this study found that despite lower production costs in Morocco and Chile, transporting e-hydrogen to Germany and Finland makes imports economically unattractive. Therefore, local production of e-hydrogen may be more feasible and can enhance energy security and job opportunities.

Summary: Nearly 96% of global hydrogen production comes from fossil fuels, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Utilizing unsold offshore wind electricity for hydrogen production offers a low-carbon pathway. This study investigates the cost competitiveness of offshore wind-based hydrogen production in ancillary service markets, as well as determining the optimal size of a hydrogen electrolyser. The findings suggest that offshore wind-based hydrogen production must participate in ancillary service markets to generate positive revenues and be cost competitive at current wind generation levels.
