Review on Green Hydrogen Production using Concentrated Solar Power

The burgeoning interest in green hydrogen has spurred researchers, institutions, and nations to advance technological development, enhance efficiency, and mitigate associated costs. This review study delves into green hydrogen, elucidating its production methodology utilizing renewable energy sources, mainly concentrated solar power, and focusing on specific geographic locales such as Egypt. Egypt exhibits substantial potential to produce” green” hydrogen, facilitating the shift from conventional fossil fuels to sustainable energy solutions while fostering environmental stewardship through the electrolysis process, a predominant mode of production. Additionally, this investigation explains the diverse benefits of green hydrogen as a prospective substitute for fossil fuels, accentuating its environmentally benevolent attributes characterized by net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, it scrutinizes the advantages of deploying green hydrogen across diverse industrial, commercial, and transportation sectors. This endeavor postulates that green hydrogen production via concentrated solar power holds promise as the essential fuel of the future when sensibly applied in appropriate contexts, coupled with enhancements in production methodologies, storage techniques, and overall efficiency across varied domains. Lastly, this review will identify the gaps that will help researchers in future studies. Moreover, it will provide stakeholders with the most mature research to be implemented commercially.
