Abstract
For many years fossil fuel has been the primary source of energy worldwide though, the
environment is negatively affected because of the high carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions
associated with the use of fossil fuels. Hydrogen (H2) is known for its ecological
cleanliness and high energy efficiency. More consumers are considering H2 as an energy
carrier for different stationery and transportation applications. The most sustainable way
to synthesize H2 is by using the water electrolysis method with renewable energy sources
like solar, wind, etc. Currently, the proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer
(PEMWE), coupled with renewable energy sources, is the most efficient water
electrolyzer technology to produce very pure H2 with no CO2 emissions.
