Hydrogen Production, Distribution, Storage and Power Conversion in a Hydrogen Economy - A Technology Review

To meet ambitious targets for greenhouse gas emissions reduction in the 2035-2050 timeframe, hydrogen has been identified as a clean “green” fuel of interest. In comparison to fossil fuel use the burning of hydrogen results in zero CO2 emissions and it can be obtained from renewable energy sources....
