Hydrogen: An innovative and alternative energy for the future

Abstract

As an energy carrier, Hydrogen can be used by combining with electricity in an innovative overall energy system. All primary resources such as fossil fuels, renewable energy sources (solar, wind, hydro, geothermic, biomass) and nuclear power could be used for its production and can be termed as one of the advantages of using hydrogen as an energy carrier. The use of hydrogen to balance wind power generation is also detailed. The different techniques for production and storage of hydrogen are discussed. The various applications of hydrogen in transportation and load leveling are presented.
