“…2 Whilst much of the literature focuses on hydrogen production by water electrolysis, the vast majority of hydrogen is currently produced by reforming or gasication of fossil fuels. 3,4 In combination with CO 2 capture and storage (CCS), fossil-based hydrogen (popularly referred to as "blue hydrogen") could act as a low-carbon alternative to electrolysis-based hydrogen (whose carbon footprint depends on the carbon intensity of the electricity used). The use of biomass instead of fossil fuels as a feedstock for reforming or gasication with CCS might even lead to a net removal of CO 2 from the atmosphere, or so-called "negative" emissions.…”

“…13,25,26,56,57 The overall cost associated with total hydrogen production relies on production, liquefaction, storage, and distribution costs. [59][60][61] On the condition of using the electricity from wind, geothermal, and other renewable sources for producing and storing hydrogen, the renewable energy energies are more reliable and can support a range of demands. The utilizations associated with more than 95% of hydrogen include industrial application in the electronics, metals, and other related industries.…”

Summary The major logics resulting in hydrogen production can be mentioned as fossil fuel depletion and climate change. In this way, hydrogen is produced with the help of numerous processes based on traditional and alternative energy resources like coal, natural gas, wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal energy. Over the past decade, the attention of research institutions and industry has been drawn to hydrogen, inspired by developments in renewable energies. Hydrogen production can be considered as an exceptional choice to make complete utilization of the renewable energy. Among diverse technologies, hydrogen production based on geothermal energy offers great promise. In this paper, initially a concise summary of present and advancing hydrogen production technologies is presented, and secondarily a comprehensive review of research associated with hydrogen production based on geothermal energy is provided. Thirdly, the process descriptions of geothermal‐assisted hydrogen production coupled with its technical, economic, and environmental aspects are addressed. Finally, comparative assessments of costs and environmental aspects related to hydrogen production based on different energy sources have been performed. In accordance with the results, the geothermal‐assisted hydrogen production cost based on electrolysis is competitively lower than other sources like wind, solar thermal coupled with natural gas, solar PV, and grid. Also, the same behavior can be seen for geothermal‐assisted hydrogen production cost based on thermochemical process.

“…The most significant part of this energy (65% in 2010, projected to be still 58% in 2050) is employed for heating purposes. The share of gaseous fuels in the residential consumption is also not expected to vary significantly up to 2050 [5]. Strategies for decarbonization of residential building energy services must involve the use of less carbon-intensive fuels, the adoption of more energy efficient appliances, the improvement of thermal properties of buildings and the change of energy consumer behaviour.…”

“…Transformation of hydrocarbons allows keeping the exploitation of the existing methane reservoirs, potentially with zero carbon impact: in fact, methane can be transformed (for example, by steam methane reforming or thermal dissociation) into H2 and CO2, and the coupling with CCS technologies allow avoiding the release of this last component in the atmosphere [2]. Whichever would be the prevailing decarbonisation pathway, depending also on the evolution of technological and economical aspects [4,5], residential gas fired devices has to be ready to deal in the future with H2NG.…”

Potentialities of hydrogen enriched natural gas for residential heating decarbonization and impact analysis on premixed boilers

Nowadays, decarbonization of energy economy is a topical theme and several pathways are under discussion. Gaseous fuels will play a primary role during this transition, and the production of renewable or low carbon-impact gaseous fuels is necessary to deal with this challenge. Decarbonization will be sustained by an increasing share of renewables, which production intermittency can be critical for the energy system. Renewable hydrogen generation is a viable solution since this energy vector can be produced from electricity with a fast response and injected in the existing natural gas infrastructures, granting storage capacity and easy transport. Parallelly to the renewable-based energy production, fossil-based energy can be exploited with a low carbon impact, using methane from reservoirs to produce hydrogen capturing CO2. The mentioned scenarios will lead to hydrogen enrichment of natural gas, which impact on the infrastructures is being actively studied. The effect on end-user devices, instead, is poorly analysed, but is fundamental to be assessed. This paper highlights the impact on the widely used premixed condensing boilers, which will be fired with hydrogen enriched natural gas in the near future, and the changes required to components.
