These stacks are a complex assembly of components designed to facilitate the electrolysis of water, splitting it into its constituent elements—hydrogen and oxygen—using electrical energy. The hydrogen produced can then be harnessed for various applications, making stacks a pivotal element in the journey towards sustainable hydrogen-based solutions.
One of the key reasons hydrogen is utilized is its high energy density, which renders it an attractive option for energy storage and transporting applications. The problem of large-scale energy storage remains unresolved, which is constraining the broader adoption of renewable energy sources.
Compare hydrogen and competing technologies for utility- scale energy storage systems. Hydrogen is competitive with batteries and could be competitive with CAES and pumped hydro in locations that are not favorable for these technologies.
Numerous nations have invested considerable resources in advancing hydrogen energy and fuel cells (Hosseini and Wahid, 2020). In fuel cells, hydrogen and oxygen are utilized to generate electrical power. There are various types of fuel cells with different methods of operation and performance.
For hydrogen fuel vehicles, the hydrogen in the tank must be reconverted into electric power, which is done through fuel cell. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the fuel cell technology has the potential of achieving 60% of efficiency, with most of the rest of the energy lost as heat (U.S. Department of Energy, 2011).
Hydrogen storage represents a significant barrier in the advancement of hydrogen fuel cell cars. Hydrogen has a higher energy density per unit mass (120 MJ/kg) in comparison to conventional fuels like gasoline (44 MJ/kg).
