Abstract

The main purpose of hydrogen production is to move closer to industrial technologies and the development of a transportation system that will help to improve the future. Industrial hydrogen production is an integral part of hydrogen energy, the first link in the hydrogen consumption life cycle. Hydrogen is practically not present on Earth in pure form and must be extracted from other compounds using various chemical methods. There are currently many ways of industrially producing hydrogen. The diversity of hydrogen production methods is one of the main advantages of hydrogen energy, as it increases energy security and reduces dependence on certain types of raw materials. Efficient hydrogen production will help successfully by integrating the hydrogen infrastructure of the European “Smart cities” model, which globally supports the overall improvement of the environment. The peak power of conventional nuclear reactors or other power plants can also be used. The rapidly growing demand for hydrogen from refineries and chemical plants is the develop-ment of low-cost technologies. There are already limited networks of hydrogen pipe-lines that allow production facilities to be located at a certain distance from users. One approach to reducing the volatility of wind and solar electricity is to produce hydrogen by electrolysis and supply it to the gas network.
