Summary: Renewable energy technologies, especially solar and wind energy technologies, have experienced a rapid decline in costs over the past two decades, making them cost-competitive with fossil fuel technologies. However, there is currently no consensus on the cost competitiveness due to wide variations in factors influencing LCOEs across countries and technologies.

Summary: Hydrogen is expected to account for 10-18% of global energy demand by 2050, but the transition requires addressing various challenges in the value chain and is supported by policies and roadmaps from high energy consumption countries and companies. Green hydrogen is the priority, with blue hydrogen as a transition form. This review discusses different hydrogen production processes, storage and transport advancements, carbon capture technologies, costs, and requirements for large-scale production, providing information for the fossil fuels industry to participate in the energy transition.

Summary: Hydrogen has been identified as the most promising carrier of clean energy in the efforts to replace fossil fuels. Hydrogen generation technologies play a key role in the energy mix and integrating them with other renewable energy systems is becoming increasingly feasible. While progress has been made in large-scale production and storage of hydrogen, local conditions and multiple strategies may be needed to achieve significant production and storage.

Summary: This paper constructs the first open-sourced, spatially, and hourly resolved model of the Indian power system to analyze the cost-optimal storage combinations for different renewable energy scenarios. Results show that transmission expansion and inter-regional coordination can help reduce system costs, 50% renewable energy penetration is a critical target, and the optimal solution at 50% RES share includes a maximum of 11 GWh of battery and 29.8 GWh of hydrogen storage capacity. Sensitivity analysis demonstrates that cost reduction in storage technologies leads to the lowest system cost even with limited transmission expansion.

Summary: This study integrates energy storage and low-carbon technologies under stability requirements and different climate conditions to analyze their role in decarbonizing the power system. The results show that batteries and hydrogen fuel cells have low penetration and negligible emission reduction. Compressed air storage has limited effectiveness in the short term but improves in the long term. Flexible generation technologies based on hydrogen turbines and long-duration storage provide the greatest decarbonization potential, covering 11-14% of demand in the short and long term. Decarbonizing the electricity system and achieving Paris targets is possible without significant cost increase.

Summary: Energy storage is crucial for achieving energy decarbonization, but the profit-driven motive of investor-owned storage in deregulated power systems may affect its social welfare alignment. This study uses an agent-based approach to analyze the impact of different market participation options on storage's contribution to reducing electricity costs and carbon emissions. The findings suggest that the existing electricity pool market design in North America may hinder deep decarbonization progress and that day-ahead markets are more effective in reducing carbon emissions while real-time markets are more effective in reducing costs. Different combinations of storage market participation choices present trade-offs between consumer energy affordability and carbon emissions.

Summary: The most practical way to store hydrogen gas for fuel cell vehicles is by using composite overwrapped pressure vessels, which can vary in operational pressure and volume capacity depending on the driving distance range and power requirement of the vehicles. The current commercial hydrogen storage method involves storing compressed hydrogen gas in high-pressure tanks, ranging from 700 bar for passenger vehicles to 350 bar to 700 bar for heavy-duty trucks. The cost analysis, including process analysis, raw materials, and manufacturing processes, aims to optimize the cost and performance of compressed hydrogen storage tanks for various applications.
