INFRASTRUCTURE AND DISTRIBUTION
Recommendations. Interest is rising to establish H2
as a solution
to decarbonize various sectors, with a primary focus being
transportation. H2
also finds application in hard-to-electrify segproduction
routes such as SMR, biomass and
. The SMR proments
of industry including steel, cement, fertilizer and methanol.
Different H2
electrolysis, based on different feedstocks and power sources,
can complement one another instead of competing. SMR is an
established and cost-effective solution and can adopt carboncapture
measures to produce carbon-neutral H2
cess is a better choice where natural gas prices are low, where
CO2
production is large. The SMR route can be used to establish the
infrastructure of the H2
economy.
The biomass route is efficient in disposing of biomass and
has great acceptability for empowering rural agricultural economies.
It can also be made carbon neutral. Commercial-scale
biomass-based production of H2
supply chains are critical challenges for red H2
neutral H2
.
Electrolysis is emerging as an effective producer of carbon.
The electrolysis process is the best choice where
excess electricity is available at a cheaper rate from a renewable
source. Low renewable electricity costs and maturity of technology
are essential for the success of green H2
All three H2
production technologies will play critical roles in
achieving the goals of mitigating climate change and advancing
the energy transition. It is essential to identify the right fit and
application(s) for each production pathway. The integration of
and management of feedstock
production.
disposal is easy and economical and where the scale of
all three processes may prove to be a lucrative and mutually beneficial
option, and requires further study.
