Hydrogen Energy and Thermal Integration in Renewable Systems

Abstract

The transition toward sustainable energy systems is crucial to mitigate climate change and reduce dependency on fossil fuels. Hydrogen energy, recognized as a clean and versatile energy carrier, offers significant potential when integrated with renewable energy sources. This paper provides a comprehensive review of hydrogen production methods, storage techniques, and its integration with thermal energy systems to improve efficiency in renewable systems. Key topics include electrolysis-based hydrogen production using solar and wind energy, thermal management strategies, combined heat and power systems, and emerging technologies for thermal integration in hydrogen systems.
Furthermore, challenges such as energy efficiency, storage safety, and
economic feasibility are discussed. The study concludes that optimizing
hydrogen production with thermal integration can enhance renewable energy utilization and contribute to sustainable energy infrastructure.
