The study presents a comprehensive review on the utilization of hydrogen as an energy carrier, examining its properties, storage methods, associated challenges, and potential future implications. Hydrogen, due to its high energy content and clean combustion, has emerged as a promising alternative. Hydrogen, the lightest and most abundant element in the universe, exists primarily in compound forms like water (H2O) and hydrocarbons. In its molecular form (H2), hydrogen is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. When burned or utilized in fuel cells, hydrogen produces only water as a byproduct. Hydrogen energy carriers are molecules and materials that store hydrogen at higher volumetric density than possible using gas phase hydrogen. The availability of renewable energy resources, e.g., solar and wind, has grown substantially over the last 30 years and these resources are expected to grow. It highlights that the hydrogen economy depends on abundant non-dispatchable renewable energy from wind and solar to produce green hydrogen using excess electricity. The approach is not limited solely to existing methodologies but also explores the latest innovations in this dynamic field. It. Hydrogen-based fuels are expected to support maritime shipping in reaching net-zero climate targets. However, the complexity of hydrogen-based fuel supply, propulsion system deployment, and fleet composition make their full life cycle decarbonization potential unclear. A comprehensive fleet-level.
