Some energy services and industrial processes-such as long-distance freight transport, air travel, highly reliable electricity, steel cement manufacturing-are particularly difficult to provide without adding carbon dioxide (CO2) the atmosphere. Rapidly growing demand for these services, combined with long lead times technology development lifetimes of infrastructure, make decarbonization both essential urgent. We examine barriers opportunities associated difficult-to-decarbonize processes, including possible technological solutions research priorities. A range existing technologies could meet future demands processes net addition CO2 atmosphere, but their use may depend on a combination cost reductions via innovation, well coordinated deployment integration operations across currently discrete industries.

Abstract Hydrogen economy has emerged as a very promising alternative to the current hydrocarbon economy, which involves process of harvesting renewable energy split water into hydrogen and oxygen then further utilization clean fuel. The production by electrolysis is an essential prerequisite with zero carbon emission. Among various technologies, alkaline splitting been commercialized for more than 100 years, representing most mature economic technology. Here, historic development overviewed, several critical electrochemical parameters are discussed. After that, advanced nonprecious metal electrocatalysts that recently negotiating evolution reaction (OER) (HER) discussed, including transition oxides, (oxy)hydroxides, chalcogenides, phosphides, nitrides OER, well alloys, carbides HER. In this section, particular attention paid catalyst synthesis, activity stability challenges, performance improvement, industry‐relevant developments. Some recent works about scaled‐up novel electrode designs, seawater also spotlighted. Finally, outlook on future challenges opportunities offered, potential directions speculated.

Numerous reviews on hydrogen storage have previously been published. However, most of these deal either exclusively with materials or the global economy. This paper presents a review systems that are relevant for mobility applications. The ideal medium should allow high volumetric and gravimetric energy densities, quick uptake release fuel, operation at room temperatures atmospheric pressure, safe use, balanced cost-effectiveness. All current technologies significant drawbacks, including complex thermal management systems, boil-off, poor efficiency, expensive catalysts, stability issues, slow response rates, operating pressures, low risks violent uncontrolled spontaneous reactions. While not perfect, leading industry standard compressed offers functional solution demonstrates option compared to other technologies.
