HYDROGEN ENERGETICS CURRENT STATE AND HYDROGEN PRODUCTION METHODS

Review about hydrogen energetics current state and obtaining hydrogen methods are given with using literature sources from near and far abroad. It is shown that hydrogen energy is an alternative to traditional energy based on natural resources and describes the technical aspects of hydrogen production methods. We described industrial methods three categories for producing hydrogen - an environmentally friendly energy carrier. It is shown that the first category includes hydrogen production thermochemical methods, one of which is natural gas steam reforming. Along with this, methods for methane partial oxidation, autothermal reforming, and steam and gas coal conversion are considered. The second group of methods for the hydrogen production is represented by electrolytic methods. Among them, a noteworthy method is the electrolysis of water. At present, the promising hydrogen production technology is standard electrolysis, decomposing water into its components - hydrogen and oxygen with the passage of electric current. In recent years, other methods of producing hydrogen have been developed and are being developed. Biomass gasification and biomass pyrolysis methods are described, it is shown how these methods differ.It is shown that all the methods considered have their own advantages and disadvantages.
