The advancements in hydrogen production and storage must utilize emission-free methods that are both cost-effective and scalable. Hydrogen as a portable power source, faces criticism due to its low volumetric energy density and the safety requirements associated with its storage. To unlock the full potential of hydrogen in the energy sector, it is imperative to address the challenges related to cost-effective, emission-free generation methods and storage options.
