Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the third decade of the 21st century, large amounts of energy are needed to meet the needs of individual residents and large technology companies. Electricity and heat are essential in our homes, vehicles and various industrial processes. Replacing existing fossil energy sources with hydrogen will be the basis for the climate and energy transition of technology and transport companies, as well as the entire local and international community. According to experts, the time has come for hydrogen technologies to be effectively implemented in the various areas mentioned above. In this Special Issue, we encourage you to critically review the technologies currently on the market for the production of hydrogen in renewable energy systems.
Review articles will facilitate the significant decision-making required in the selection of the best technologies for specific applications and will also be the basis for their integration into effective energy and production systems. Another important focus will be the description of current market implementations of individual technologies for the production of low-emission hydrogen from renewable energy sources and their combinations. The analyses and research presented in these articles will enable a comparison of theoretical assumptions related to their functioning with industrial practice. They will enable the optimization of hydrogen production processes using the latest methods and traditional and AI-based algorithms. Furthermore, this Special Issue will focus on innovative technologies for hydrogen production in renewable energy systems. This includes solutions known but not yet used in industrial practice due to high costs, but also those resulting from scientists' discoveries in recent months. The editors encourage you to submit articles and also participate in the article review process.
The topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Energy production from renewable energy sources and their combinations together with the use of energy storage systems.
- Integration and optimization of RES with hydrogen production systems.
- Traditional and innovative technologies for hydrogen production together with its preparation and storage.
- Modeling the dynamics of energy and hydrogen production.
- Methods for the effective processing of measurement data using traditional and AI-based algorithms.
- Case studies of practical implementations of hydrogen technologies, along with their scientific description and efficiency assessment.
- Modeling and simulation of individual low-emission hydrogen production processes.
- Integration and optimization of complex processes.
- Development of hydrogen valleys and local communities friendly to hydrogen technologies.
- Ecology and economics in the hydrogen economy.
We encourage not only scientists working at universities, research and development institutes, science and technology parks, but also those in research and development centers of technology companies to publish in the Special Issue. Effective cooperation between science and business is highly desirable for the rapid and safe implementation of low-emission technologies in various areas of life and industry.
