Abstract

The article provides a brief overview of the prospects for the use of hydrogen energy in the world and Uzbekistan. It is shown that hydrogen is a universal source of energy and in the future can become a transitional energy resource, with a complete transition from traditional to renewable energy sources, and the displacement of hydrocarbons as energy sources.The main advantages and disadvantages of hydrogen production technologies have been considered. Information on the cost of hydrogen production from natural gas was given, taking into account the costs of capturing, storing, and utilizing carbon dioxide. Considering that the main direction of energy development in the world and in Uzbekistan is determined by the joint use of renewable and nuclear energy sources, the prospects of hydrogen production by the electrolysis of water, using electricity generated by renewable energy sources and nuclear power plants, have been shown. In order to ensure the production of hydrogen in a carbon-free way, it has been shown that in the future, in none of the scenarios of the growth of the world demand for hydrogen fuel, natural gas and coal are considered as the main raw materials for the production of hydrogen.
