Abstract [eng] “Climate neutral and circular economy” concept is one of the major goals that EU has set for 2050 to mitigate the effects of climate change. This aim is in line with Paris Agreement and has spurred many national initiatives directed to decarbonisation of economies. Hydrogen has emerged as a promising climate-neutral energy carrier able to facilitate the processes of EU energy transition. In recent years there has been an increase in interest towards green hydrogen production through the electrolysis process for large-scale implementation of renewable energybased power plants and other industrial and transportation applications. With growing amounts of renewable energy developments in EU hydrogen is seen as one of the most promising solutions for energy storage challenges, therefore the leading countries in the energy sector are heavily investing in research of the technical obstacles for hydrogen applications and assessment of current hydrogen market, which in turn leads to the acceleration of the upscaling of hydrogen production. The main objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive overview of various green hydrogen production, transportation and industrial application technologies and challenges. Various water electrolysis technologies including production costs along with recent developments in storage and transportation solutions are investigated, performances and limitations of electrochemical processes are presented and analysed, research trends in the field are discussed and possible solutions for performance improvements are overviewed. The study proposes a discussion of perspectives in terms of future applications and research directions.
