A review on exergy comparison of hydrogen production methods from renewable energy sources
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of hydrogen (H2) production processes using various renewable energy sources has been made based on the exergy efficiency of each process, and it has been found that the hydrogen production process with the highest ex-ergy efficiency is the electrolysis using electricity from hydro power This efficiency is 56% while the lowest ex-energy efficiency of the process with electrolysis driven by electricity from solar energy photovoltaics is 10%.
