Yashawant Patil, Prajakta Shete, Jayant Pawar and Girish Pathade

Abstract

Hydrogen, with its high energy content and zero emissions, has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuels for various applications, including transportation, power generation, and industrial processes. This article provides an overview of hydrogen production methods, highlighting their advantages, limitations, and current developments. The main focus is on the most common methods of hydrogen production, including steam methane reforming, electrolysis, and biomass gasification. Additionally, alternative and emerging technologies, such as photoelectrochemical and biological processes, are discussed. This abstract provides a brief overview of hydrogen production methods and their significance in the transition towards a sustainable energy future. Hydrogen, has gained considerable attention as an alternative to conventional fossil fuels. This article aims to summarize the various methods of hydrogen production, including steam methane reforming, electrolysis, biomass gasification, and emerging technologies such as photo electrochemical and biological processes.
