Abstract :
Our main objective of the project was to study
all the existing methods of hydrogen production and find
most feasible and renewable methods among all. We
studied them, compared and analyzed each of the
methods that are widely known or used for the production
of hydrogen gas and came to a conclusion that steam
methane reforming method of hydrogen production is the
most widely ysed and most efficient method among the
rest. We have introduced the usage of solar energy in the
steam methane reforming reaction in the place of utility.
However, steam reforming method of methane process is
considered as state-of-the-art technology for efficient
production of hydrogen regarding the current scientific
R&D [ 2 ], introducing solar into it might increase some
amount of expense but will be a better move while
switching to renewable sources on Earth. SRM [ 3 ]
method of hydrogen production is a highly endothermic
process. This requires high potential heat source for the
purpose of preheating feedstock, producing steam of high
potential and controlling the process. However, the use of
concentrated solar energy in this has the potential of
avoiding 35-40% of the CO2 - carbon dioxide emissions
derived from the conventional SRM process based on
fossil fuel. Hence we have made a sustainable project
wherein we aim to use renewable energy to generate
hydrogen which in itself is considered fuel of the future .
Hydrogen produced using solar thermal energy is cost
effective , many countries are considering solar energy to
produce clean fuel for the future .
