摘要
In the context of global "carbon neutrality", the development of advanced renewable hydrogen production technology with high energy efficiency, low cost and zero emission will become the key to achieving "carbon neutrality". However, hydrogen production from fossil energy is still dominating the market, with low cost, but inherent carbon emissions. Hydrogen production from electrolytic water using renewable energy is considered to be the core of the renewable energy grid in the future with the continuous decline of renewable energy prices. This paper summarized the background, technical status and cutting-edge development of hydrogen production technologies. Regarding fossil fuels reforming, technological evaluation of natural gas reforming and coal gasification is conducted. The potential of chemical loping technology in effectively reducing the carbon emissions of reforming was evaluated. Regarding the water splitting, the technical characteristics and recent progresses of four mainstream water splitting routes, i.e. alkaline electrolysis, anion exchange membrane electrolysis, proton exchange membrane electrolysis, and solid oxide-based electrolysis technologies were compared. On this basis, the prospect of hydrogen production from water splitting (especially from seawater) was discussed for the large-scale hydrogen energy system in the future, by evaluating the existing challenges/opportunities in seawater splitting, including the chlorine evolution, thermodynamic optimization, and catalyst development. Finally, relevant suggestions were put forward in order to promote the research of hydrogen production technologies. Copyright ©2022 Advanced Engineering Sciences. All rights reserved.
