Abundant and low cost renewable energy available in Saudi Arabia can be used to produce green hydrogen. Other forms of low-carbon hydrogen are also being envisioned from hydrocarbon and unconventional sources. To advance the hydrogen economy, a number of innovations are needed in H2 production and storage. Hydrogen production requires significant focus on electrolyzer manufacturing and materials to lower levelized cost of H2 produced. Storage and transport of hydrogen is required to lower the cost of hydrogen delivery. This talk will highlight needs for composite materials in electrolyzers and storage facilities and how these may reduce overall levelized cost of hydrogen. The utilization of carbon materials derived from hydrocarbon pyrolysis and hydrogen will also be discussed.
