The energy carrier hydrogen is a key enabler of renewable energy, via hydrogen energy systems and can contribute significantly to a sustainable world. As easily accessible fossil fuel supplies become increasingly scarce and environmental concerns escalate in impact and expand, hydrogen energy is likely to become increasingly important. With the worldâ??s energy sources becoming less fossil fuel-based, hydrogen and electricity are expected to be the two dominant energy carriers for the provision of end-user services, in a hydrogen economy. A hydrogen economy involves many types of hydrogen energy systems, which together allow greater use of renewable energy resources. Numerous commercial and pre-commercial processes exist for producing hydrogen from all kinds of fossil fuels as well as from non-fossil fuel sources like solar energy, wind energy, bioenergy energy and various other types of renewable in addition to nuclear energy. Technologies for the storage, transport and distribution of hydrogen also exist and are undergoing development. Technologies are in use and undergoing development for utilizing hydrogen as an energy carrier, especially in transportation and by energy utilities. The technologies needed for hydrogen energy systems are undergoing much research and development and advances are constantly being made. In this presentation, the role of hydrogen as an energy carrier and enabler of renewable energy is described and illustrated and hydrogen energy systems that can contribute to a sustainable world are reviewed and discussed.
