| | APRIL - 20236EDITOR'S DESKHydrogen is becoming an increasingly important player in the world's energy landscape. With the push towards decarbonization and the transition to renewable energy sources, hydrogen has emerged as a key component of the energy mix. End-to-end hydrogen trends refer to the entire value chain of hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and usage.Hydrogen production is the starting point for the hydrogen value chain. There are currently several methods of producing hydrogen, but the most common methods are through steam methane reforming (SMR) and electrolysis. SMR is the most widely used method for producing hydrogen, accounting for approximately 95 percent of global hydrogen production. However, the process is highly carbon-intensive, and as a result, the hydrogen produced is not considered green hydrogen. Electrolysis, on the other hand, is a more sustainable method of producing hydrogen as it relies on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. This method is becoming increasingly popular, and it is expected that it will play a significant role in the production of green hydrogen in the future.Once hydrogen is produced, it needs to be stored. Hydrogen has a low energy density, and as a result, it requires large amounts of space to be stored in gaseous form. To overcome this challenge, hydrogen can be compressed or liquefied, which increases its energy density and reduces the amount of space required for storage. Another promising storage method is solid-state hydrogen storage, which involves storing hydrogen in a solid material. This method is still in its early stages of development, but it has the potential to provide a safe, efficient, and compact method of hydrogen storage.Hydrogen is typically transported in its gaseous or liquid form. Gaseous hydrogen is transported via pipelines, while liquid hydrogen is transported via specialized trucks and tankers. However, these transportation methods are expensive and have limited range. To overcome these challenges, research is being conducted into new transportation methods, such as ammonia and liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs). These methods have the potential to provide a more cost-effective and efficient means of hydrogen transportation.The Evolving World of End-to-End HydrogenCopyright © 2023 ValleyMedia, Inc.
