Abstract
The use of renewable energy sources is vital to secure the future of all humanity. Hydrogen energy produced from
renewable energy sources has an important role in clean and sustainable energy production. One of the most important
characteristics of hydrogen energy is that it does not leave any harmful residues that threaten nature and human life when
burned. Hydrogen and renewable energy generation partnerships can provide some advantages to both technologies.
Renewables can use hydrogen to storage overage production and supply energy on demand. Renewables can add
reliability to the clean energy demands of hydrogen, providing that the production of hydrogen is in fact greenhouse
gases emissions free and independent from fossil fuels. However, there are many subjects that need to be well-considered
in determining the potential for this option. Some of those subjects are the cost of hydrogen generation from renewables,
the suitability of hydrogen storage process, the efficiency of electricity generation from hydrogen, and the all efficiency
of renewable energy and hydrogen system. There are also numerous different storage alternatives for renewables that
show promise and may deserve more attention. This paper will analyze the present state of R&D for renewable-hydrogen
integration from biomass in Turkey.
