Climate Change and It's Impacts - Green Hydrogen Production

Abstract

Climate change poses significant challenges to the production of green hydrogen, a crucial component of sustainable energy systems. This research paper investigates the impacts of climate change on green hydrogen production, focusing on temperature effects, precipitation patterns, and renewable energy availability. Analysis reveals that rising temperatures lead to a decline in electrolysis efficiency, potentially reducing hydrogen production rates by up to 8% by the end of the century. Altered precipitation patterns affect water availability for electrolysis processes, highlighting the importance of adaptive water management strategies. Solar and wind energy, essential for powering electrolysis, exhibit regional variations, necessitating innovative integration techniques. Technological innovations and policy interventions are crucial for enhancing the efficiency and resilience of green hydrogen production infrastructure. Collaborative efforts between stakeholders are essential for promoting the adoption of green hydrogen as a key component of a low-carbon energy future. By addressing these challenges through adaptive strategies and technological advancements, we can mitigate the impacts of climate change on green hydrogen production and accelerate the transition towards a sustainable energy landscape.
