Since the Industrial Revolution that occurred in the United States, more sources for energy production were developed due to the increasing demand from the public and drastic climate change. The following sources of energy: petroleum, natural gas, coal (all known as fossil fuels) and nuclear energy were used in energy production. However, because of the finite fossil fuels (mainly petroleum and coal) in the 21st century, a major concern for future energy production needs has emerged. As a result of increasing demands for energy, the US Department of Energy (DOE) as well as other government agencies has spearheaded efforts to produce cleaner alternative ways for meeting the nation’s energy needs. Investigations in alternative energy research are designed to produce clean, efficient, and environmentally sound energy sources for use by the public. Recent in 2020, hydrogen has been increasing in interest for a potential option in the renewable energy market. Based on increasing and commercialization on this emerging market, the current presentation will discuss the strengths and weaknesses on the landscape of hydrogen regarding production, storage, and applications. In addition, the talk will focus on specific research of hydrogen storage and production via metal hydride storage and biohydrogen production respectively.
