Abstract
The world's fossil fuel supplies are being depleted at an accelerated rate, and the demand for these resources is only growing. In addition, fossil fuels which provide 80% of the world's basic energy have detrimental effects on the ecosystem, mostly through the emission of greenhouse gases that exacerbate climate change. The urgency of swiftly shifting from conventional energy sources to sustainable or renewable alternatives that can meet present and future global energy demands is highlighted by the environmental crisis that is worsening. As an energy carrier, hydrogen emerges as a strong contender in this transition, and the cost of production of hydrogen is also associated. Thus, to provide a competitive analysis of the cost of hydrogen production, a thorough literature review was conducted. This literature review looks into both basic and advanced hydrogen production technologies, evaluating their cost-efficiency profiles. Comparing the cost of hydrogen production from various sources becomes critical in the pursuit of sustainable energy generation. It can quantify production costs by using powerful data analytics techniques. This entails meticulously collecting and preparing relevant cost data, identifying critical metrics, and employing statistical methodologies. Cost dynamics analysis includes descriptive analysis, data visualization, and rigorous statistical testing. According to the findings of this analysis, steam methane reforming technology has an impressive efficiency rate of 85% and a production cost of 2.27 USD/unit of hydrogen. Notably, while electrolysis produces cleaner hydrogen, its high energy consumption makes it more expensive than the less expensive SMR technology. Furthermore, regression analysis allows us to thoroughly examine potential influencing factors. Through rigorous data analysis, for example, a clearer image of the cost-effectiveness of different hydrogen sources might be created, enabling more informed decision-making in the field of sustainable energy generation.
