Published at Applied Energy – Systematic assessment for an integrated hydrogen approach towards the cross-regional application considering solar thermochemical and methanol carrier

Abstract Hydrogen holds promise as a clean energy carrier, but its industrial utilization is currently constrained by the challenges of green production and efficient cross-regional delivery. To this end, a novel integrated hydrogen energy system considering the solar-driven biomass gasification and liquid organic hydrogen storage was developed in this work. In the newly developed system, …

Published at Applied Energy – A review of solar thermochemical cycles for fuel production

Abstract: Solar-driven CO2/H2O splitting via a two-step solar thermochemical cycle is a promising approach for fuel production and carbon neutrality to address the intermittent instability and low energy density of solar energy while taking advantage of its clean and nonpolluting nature. However, current experimental efficiencies are still below theoretical levels due to various limitations such …
