Abstract
The growing demand for clean energy has spotlighted biomass as a promising resource for sustainable hydrogen production, providing a carbon-neutral alternative to traditional fossil fuels. This review examines the latest advancements in converting biomass to hydrogen, focusing on thermochemical methods like gasification and pyrolysis, catalyst development, and biotechnological approaches such as dark fermentation and biophotolysis. While these methods offer substantial environmental benefits, including waste reduction and renewable energy generation, challenges persist in optimizing feedstock diversity, enhancing catalyst stability, and achieving cost-effective scalability. Innovations in plasma-assisted reforming, advanced nanocatalysts, and integrated reactor designs show promise in overcoming these barriers. By fostering collaboration across academia, industry, and government, these advancements can pave the way for a viable, sustainable hydrogen economy and contribute significantly to reducing global carbon emissions.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
