“…First of all, it is necessary to provide hydrogen transport filling stations, construction of which is problematic due to the properties of the gas (i.e. reactivity and high combustibility) [7]. Second, the volume characteristics of hydrogen make it less attractive, even when compared with gasoline [21].…”

Modern trends in the global energy market linked to the Sustainable Development Goals often lead to the adoption of political decisions with little basis in fact. Stepping up the development of renewable energy sources is an economically questionable but necessary step in terms of its social and ecological effects. However, subsequent development of hydrogen infrastructure is, at the very least, a dangerous initiative. In connection with mentioned above, an attempt to examine hydrogen by conducting an integral assessment of its characteristics has been made in this article. As a result of the research conducted, the following conclusions concerning the potential of the widespread implementation of hydrogen in the power generation sector have been made: as a chemical element, it harms steel structures, which significantly impedes the selection of suitable materials; its physical and volume characteristics decrease the general efficiency of the energy system compared to similar hydrocarbon solutions; the hydrogen economy does not have the necessary foundation in terms of both physical infrastructure and market regulation mechanisms; the emergence of widely available hydrogen poses a danger for society due to its high combustibility. Following the results of the study, it was concluded that the existing pilot hydrogen projects are positive yet not scalable solutions for the power generation sector due to the lack of available technologies to construct large-scale and geographically distributed infrastructure and adequate international system of industry regulation. Thus, under current conditions, the risks of implementing such projects considerably exceed their potential ecological benefits.

“…FCEVs have an advantage in categories such as range, weight, and refueling times when compared to B-EVs [1]. Although FCEVs are currently available, challenges in infrastructure, performance, durability, and cost hinder wide-spread adoption [2][3][4][5][6].…”

“…The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has set a goal to lower the PEMFC Pt loading to 0.125 mg/cm 2 or 0.15 mg/kW. However, current state-of-the-art PEMFCs with loadings of roughly 0.13 mg/cm 2 [12] suffer from performance losses. Electrodes with lower Pt loadings exhibit large transport losses that are not yet sufficiently explained in the literature [13].…”

This work presents a pseudo-two-dimensional proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) model incorporating Nafion ionomer structure–property relationships in the cathode catalyst layer (CL) to capture and explain losses at low Pt loading. Structural data from neutron reflectometry and thin film Nafion conductivity measurements predict variations in the oxygen diffusion coefficient and ionic conductivity with changing CL ionomer thickness and Pt loading. By including these structure–property relationships, predicted polarization curves agree closely with previously published experimental data from cells with Pt loadings between 0.025 and 0.2 mg/cm2. Results demonstrate that structure–property relationships based on physically measurable ionomer and CL properties provide a feasible interpretation of PEMFC CL phenomena for a range of Pt loadings and help explain previously unaccounted-for losses at low Pt. Results also show that simulations must account for surface species coverage variations in order to properly capture the kinetic losses. Finally, results suggest that an increase in ionomer thickness surrounding the C/Pt surfaces may lead to improved cell performance due to improved ionic conductivity.

“…Oil, coal, natural gas, as well as biomass and water can be used as primary sources for H 2 production, by way of conventional methods such as by-product purified from fossil fuel processing, methane steam reforming, water electrolysis, or novel methods such as wastewater treatment and photolysis of algae [2, 4,5]. Nearly 96% of the current global hydrogen is made from the hydrocarbon feedstock, and another 4% comes from water [2, 5,6]. Not considering the cost of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) which is essential for greenhouse gas abatement for fossil fuel pathways [7], hydrocarbon feedstock can render cheap hydrogen for industry applications [6,8e10].…”

“…[2,4]. Practically, compressed hydrogen gas stored in containers and transported with trailers is widely used for vehicular utilization at present and liquefied hydrogen is a prospect economical way of large-scale storage and longjourney transport [5]. When hydrogen arrives at the refueling station, it is stored in the on-site cylinders in compressed gas or liquid state and filled to FCVs in the compressed gas state under different pressures [2].…”
