Hydrogen gas is produced by several industrial methods. [ 1 ] Nearly all of the world's current supply of hydrogen is created from fossil fuels. [ 2 ][ 3 ]: 1 Most hydrogen is gray hydrogen made through steam methane reforming. In this process, hydrogen is produced from a chemical reaction between steam and methane, the main component of ...
Fuel cells can produce electricity continuously for as long as fuel and oxygen are supplied. The first fuel cells were invented by Sir William Grove in 1838. The first commercial use of fuel cells came almost a century later following the invention of the hydrogen–oxygen fuel cell by Francis Thomas Bacon in 1932.
Hydrogen is not a primary energy source, because it is not naturally occurring as a fuel. It is, however, widely regarded as an ideal energy storage medium, due to the ease with which electricity can convert water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis and can be converted back to electrical power using a fuel cell or hydrogen turbine.

The Hydrogen Expedition is currently working to create a hydrogen fuel cell-powered ship and using it to circumnavigate the globe, as a way to demonstrate the capability of hydrogen fuel cells. [131] In August 2021 the UK Government claimed it was the first to have a Hydrogen Strategy and produced a document. [132]
With zero emissions and reduced maintenance, the hydrogen fuel cell powertrain system offers the same operational flexibility as diesel. [4] The ferry generates electricity from hydrogen fuel cells to run electric motors for up to 300 nautical miles at a speed of 15 knots.
A hydrogen infrastructure is the infrastructure of hydrogen pipeline transport, points of hydrogen production and hydrogen stations for distribution as well as the sale of hydrogen fuel, [1] and thus a crucial prerequisite before a successful commercialization of fuel cell technology. [2] Hydrogen gasification plant for Belinka Perkemija [sl ...
A solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) is a solid oxide fuel cell that runs in regenerative mode to achieve the electrolysis of water (and/or carbon dioxide) [ 1 ] by using a solid oxide, or ceramic, electrolyte to produce hydrogen gas [ 2 ] (and/or carbon monoxide) and oxygen. The production of pure hydrogen is compelling because it is a clean ...
Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a type of bioelectrochemical fuel cell system [1] also known as micro fuel cell that generates electric current by diverting electrons produced from the microbial oxidation of reduced compounds (also known as fuel or electron donor) on the anode to oxidized compounds such as oxygen (also known as oxidizing agent or electron acceptor) on the cathode through an ...
