A Review on Solar Hydrogen Production Techniques

Saumitra Verma

Abstract :

Solar Hydrogen economy is analyzed as a possible solution to the looming energy crisis. The present and future

energy needsare projected and solar hydrogen potential to meet these needs are evaluated. Different solar hydrogen
production techniques are classified according to the process involved (thermochemical, electrochemical and photochemical). Salient points
on these methods are mentioned. An economic assessment of a conceivable solar hydrogen economy is also performed. PV water electrolysis
along with hyid technologies like solar methane reforming and solar cracking are suggested as a good short to midterm solution. Photocatalytic production is predicted as a possible long term solution.It is observed that most of the processes have not been extensively researched
upon and promising thrust area for further research are recommended.
