Recent Trends in Hydrogen Storage using Agricultural Waste

Abstract Hydrogen is becoming popular as a clean energy source in the wake of the depletion of fossil fuels and the unhealthy climate. It burns cleanly and produces only water, which removes greenhouse gaseous emissions. However, challenges such as productive, economical, and safe storage hinder hydrogen use. The study is about innovations in hydrogen storage that use agricultural waste and focuses on production methods such as biomass gasification and biological processes. Biomass gasification, especially steam versus air gasification, has a great influence on hydrogen yields and economic viability, while dark fermentation and photofermentation convert organic matter into hydrogen. However, both processes face challenges in yield and efficiency problems, requiring optimisation for effective implementation.
Without a doubt, hydrogen storage technology is the backbone of a hydrogen economy. Each storage method has its own unique pros and cons. Compressed gas storage is usually density combined with the requirement for expensive tanks in which to place it; by contrast, liquid hydrogen is efficient, but boil-off losses are a problem. Solid-state storage, using such materials as metal hydrides, is the compact option but especially slow in terms of hydrogen absorption compared to the other methods above. Adsorption-based storage, using activated carbon or MOFs, is generally lower capacity; however, it is the most economical. Environmental impact, economic feasibility, and life cycle assessments (LCAs) must weigh in evaluating agriculture manures for bio-hydrogen. Future research should be devoted to developing biomass conversion processes, storage materials, and favourable policies for bio-hydrogen commercialisation.
