Abstract

Since the world is constantly generating electricity, we need a means to store any excess energy that we get, so as to not waste any of it. Surplus renewable energy can be stored in the form of hydrogen. This stored energy can be used in different applications like fuel cell electric vehicles, power generation, fertilizers and other chemical industries. Energy production as hydrogen through water electrolysis has been getting massive attention in the world as the excessive  renewable entry on their energy grid. The aim of this paper is to provide information about the production of hydrogen and the countries which are shifting towards green hydrogen in the world, and to calculate the environmental benefits of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) when they use the hydrogen that is being produced with the surplus renewable energy in Canada.
