친환경 수소에너지로의 전환은 온실가스 감축, 미세먼지 저감 등을 통해 청정하고 안전한 사회로의 진입을 가져올 것이다. 그러나 현재 주된 수소 생산방식은 이산화탄소를 수반하는 부생수소와 추출수소 방식에 의존하는 형태가 대부분이라, 향후 그린수소 형태로의 수소생산 제조에 관한 기술 상용화 및 경쟁력 방안 확보가 절실한 상황이다. 이에 본 고에서는 광전기화학 기반의 수소생산 기술의 성능 향상과 실효성 개선을 위한 핵심 요소 기술 및 경쟁력 확보방안에 관한 부분을 논하고자 한다.

This study investigates the electrochemical characteristics of the hybrid cell that combined the advantageous characteristics of Li secondary battery and supercapacitor, high energy density and high power density, respectively. Electrochemical behaviors of the hybrid cell was characterized by charge/discharge, cycle and impedance tests. The hybrid cell using Li secondary battery and supercapacitor had better discharge capacity and cycle performance than that of using Li secondary battery only. Proper design of such a hybrid cell system is expected to result in substantial benefits to the well being of the Li secondary battery. The hybrid cell involving Li secondary battery for high energy density and supercapacitor for high power density may be the possible solution for future energy storage system.

전 세계는 지구온난화와 고유가시대를 맞이하여 배출가스 규제에서 온실가스와 연비 규제로 확대되면서 그린카라는 새로운 용어가 등장하였다. 원유 고갈과 원전 불안으로 수송연료에도 신재생 에너지와 세일가스 등장에 큰 기대를 걸고 있으며, 새로운 에너지원을 사용하는 전기자동차와 수소연료전지 자동차의 개발도 활발이 진행되고 있으나 자동차시장의 형성은 각종 규제의 만족은 물론이고 경제성, 안전성, 편리성 등이 수반되어야 한다. 향후 세계 자동차시장은 에너지의 수급 사정과 시대의 요구 조건에 따라 크게 좌우되므로 각 국가별 여건을 고려하여 단계를 구분해서 그 시대에 가장 적합한 그린카 차종이 무엇인지를 신중하게 분석하여 산업화 정책을 추진해야 할 것이다. 이러한 관점에서 최근 기계연구원이 주축이 되어 개발하여 운행 중인 디젤하이브리드 자동차를 중심으로 세계 그린카 개발동향을 소개하고자 한다.

Alkaline water electrolysis system is the oldest technology among various hydrogen production processes to produce green hydrogen with the least amount of greenhouse gas generated. Alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) system is used in alkaline atmosphere condition. In comparison to polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE), this system can utilize stable transition metals such as nickel, cobalt, and silver, as electrode catalysts. AWE is relatively inexpensive, and can easily be scaled up to large scale. The system is a mature technology, as it has been in operation since the beginning of the 20th century in MW-scale for hydrogen generation, and there are currently more than 20 commercial manufacturers. In this review, the basic principles of AWE, along with catalysts, electrodes, and diaphragm membranes, are summarized. Particularly, the research and development trends of the diaphragm membrane unit, which is the core component of an AWE, are discussed in detail.

The water gas shift reaction was carried out using the commercial catalyst pellet and the simulated gases expected to occur from waste plastic gasification. In the water gas shift reaction, the high temperature shift reaction and the low temperature shift reaction were continuously performed with CO:H₂O ratio of 1:2, 1:2.5, and 1:3, and the CO conversion and H₂ increase rate were evaluated. The H₂ increase rate increased in order to CO:H₂O ratio of 1:3 > CO:H₂O ratio of 1:2.5 > CO:H₂O ratio of 1:2. The CO conversion showed a high value of more than 97% at each CO:H₂O ratio. The water gas shift reaction at a CO:H₂O ratio of 1:3 showed the highest H2 increase rate and CO conversion.

In this study, we examined the case of Fukushima Hydrogen Research Field (FH2R) Namie hydrogen town. We found that the case has three aspects of socio-technical experiment: a living-scale test-bed of hydrogen technologies, activities for enhancing social acceptability, and a designed module for policy transfer to diffuse. This study aims to provide a benchmark for planning a green hydrogen city in near future.

At the present time, interest in hydrogen is increasingly growing worldwide to tackle climate change. Korea also takes an action by announcing the first hydrogen economy implementation basic plan with the import targets of 22.9 million tons of hydrogen from oversea in 2050. To achieve this plan, it is very essential to establish an overseas hydrogen supply chain. In this paper, the study estimates the import price for hydrogen into basic scenario and comprehensive scenario, and also analyses economic feasibility considering price of the each technology.

In achieving carbon neutrality and the hydrogen economy, the estimation of H₂ cost is critical in terms of CCU technologies. This study analyzes LCOH of hydrogen produced by the carbon utilization unit with methane reforming and CO₂ from thermal power plant. LCOH for H₂ made with CO is estimated in three ways of Joint Cost Allocations with financial performance risk assessment. Regarding cost analysis, the zero value of LCOH is $6,003/ton. We found that the CCU technology has economic feasibility in terms of profitability. The sensitivity analysis result shows that the input ratio is more influential to the LCOH than other variables. Risk analysis presents the baseline price of zero value of LCOH - $8,408/ton, which is higher than the cost analysis - $6,003/ton. Mainly, the price variability of natural gas primarily affects the LCOH. The study has significant value in analyzing the financial performance risks as well as the cost of H₂ produced by a Plasma-based CCU system.
