Photobiological hydrogen production using Rhodobacter sphaeroides KD131 was studied on the effect of light intensities and nitrogen sources. Media containing malate and glutamate were shown higher hydrogen production rate than that containing succinate and $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ at the $110\;W/m^2$ illumination by halogen lamp at $30^{\circ}C$. Media lacking glutamate as the nitrogen source exhibited higher hydrogen production than that containing glutamate. Initial cell concentration was optimized to 1.0 at the absorbance of 660 nm. Hydrogen production was increased by increasing the light intensity from 0 to $216\;W/m^2$ but the increasing rate declined over $108\;W/m^2$.

There are several methods for the hydrogen production such as steam reforming of natural gas, photochemical method, biological method, electrolysis and thermochemical method, etc. Many researches have been widely performed for the hydrogen production method having low production cost and high efficiency. In this paper, the patents concerning the photochemical hydrogen production method were gathered and analyzed. The search range was limited in the open patents of USA(US), European Union(EP), Japan(JP), and Korea(KR) from 1996 to 2005. Patents were gathered by using key-words searching and filtered by filtering criteria. The patent application trend was analyzed by the years, countries, companies, and technologies.

Culture conditions for biological hydrogen production were investigated in wastewater of Takju manufacturing factory. Rhodobacter spaeroides KCTC1425, photosynthesis bacteria, and Enterobacter cloacae YJ-1, anaerobic bacteria were used. The hydrogen production were $195.3m{\ell}{\cdot}H_2/{\ell}$ broth for Rhodobacter spaeroides KCTC1425 and $271.8m{\ell}{\cdot}H_2/{\ell}$ broth for Enterobacter cloacae YJ-1 during 36 h. The hydrogen production increased with light intensity, and were highest over 12000Lux. In mixed culture of Rhodobacter spaeroides KCTC1425 and Enterobacter cloacae Y J-1, the optimum mixing ratio of hydrogen production was 20 and 80. Adding volume of yeast extract for maximum hydrogen production was 15 $g/{\ell}$, but there was no effect over that. $Na_2MoO_4$ was most effective among the inorganic salts, and the optimum volume was 0.4 $g/{\ell}$. In semi-continuous culture, total hydrogen production was $13086m{\ell}{\cdot}H_2/{\ell}$ broth for 144 h with operating period of 24 h.

This work is mainly focused at developing the hydrogen production unit with the capacity of 20 $Nm^3/h$ of high purity hydrogen. At present steam reforming of natural gas is the preferable method to produce hydrogen at the point of production cost. The developed hydrogen production unit composed of natural gas reformer and pressure swing adsorption system. To improve the thermal efficiency of steam reforming reactor, the internal heat recuperating structure was adopted. The heat contained in reformed gas which comes out of the catalytic beds recovered by reaction feed stream. These features of design reduce the fuel consumption into burner and the heat duty of external heat exchangers, such as feed pre-heater and steam generator. The production rate of natural gas reformer was 41.7 $Nm^3/h$ as a dryreformate basis. The composition of PSA feed gas was $H_2$ 78.26%, $CO_2$ 18.49%, CO 1.43% and $CH_4$ 1.85%. The integrated production unit can produce 21.1 $Nm^3/h$ of high-purity hydrogen (99.997%). The hydrogen production efficiency of the developed unit was more than 58% as an LHV basis.

수소는 에너지를 방출하는 과정에서 부산물로 물만 배출하기 때문에 지속가능한 청정에너지원 중의 하나이다. 현재 세계적으로 사용되는 수소는 대부분 화석연료의 개질에 의해 생산되고 있으며 1kg 수소를 생산하는 과정에서 7kg 이상의 이산화탄소를 배출하고 있다. 수소를 생산하는 과정에서 투입되는 에너지와 자원이 지속가능하고 재생 가능해야 수소를 청정에너지원이라 할 수 있다. 바이오매스는 화석연료를 대체할 수 있는 에너지원중의 하나인데, 그 이유는 바이오매스로부터 수소를 생산할 수 있으며 수소생산과정에서 발생하는 이산화탄소는 바이오매스 생산과정에서 소비되기 때문에 이론적으로 이산화탄소를 발생시키지 않는 에너지원이다. 태양에너지와 물로부터 수소를 생산하는 기술은 지구상에 널려있는 자연에너지와 물을 사용하기 때문에 인류가 직면한 에너지와 환경문제를 해결하기 위한 가장 이상적인 기술 중의 하나이다.

Global sustainable energy needs and carbon neutrality goals make hydrogen a key future energy source. South Korea and Japan lead with proactive hydrogen policies, including South Korea's Hydrogen Law and Japan's strategy updates aiming for a hydrogen-centric society by 2050. A notable advance is the solar thermal chemical water-splitting cycle for green hydrogen production, spotlighted by Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) and Niigata University's joint initiative. This method uses solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, offering a carbon-neutral hydrogen production route. The study focuses on international collaboration in solar energy for thermochemical water-splitting and E-fuel production, highlighting breakthroughs in catalyst and reactor design to enhance solar thermal technology's commercial viability for sustainable fuel production. Collaborations, like ARENA in Australia, target global carbon emission reduction and energy system sustainability, contributing to a cleaner, sustainable energy future.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of wogonin on the production of hydrogen peroxide in polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C)-stimulated TM4 mouse sertoli cells. Methods : TM4 were treated with poly I:C (50 ug/mL) and wogonin at concentrations of 5, 10, 25, and 50 µM for 30 min, 2 hr, 12 hr, 18 hr, and 24 hr. The production of intracellular hydrogen peroxide was measured by dihydrorhodamine 123 assay. Results : For 30 min, 2 hr, 12 hr, 18 hr, and 24 hr treatment, wogonin significantly inhibited intracellular hydrogen peroxide productions of TM4 at the concentration of 5, 10, 25, and 50 µM (p<0.05). In details, production of hydrogen peroxide in poly I:C-stimulated TM4 treated for 30 min with wogonin at concentrations of 5, 10, 25, and 50 µM was 95.67%, 92.69%, 92.05%, and 91.97% of the control group treated with poly I:C only, respectively; the production of hydrogen peroxide for 2 hr was 94.44%, 94.41%, 93%, and 92.98%, respectively; production of hydrogen peroxide for 12 hr was 96.78%, 95.32%, 94.33%, and 93.17%, respectively; production of hydrogen peroxide for 18 hr was 94.7%, 93.4%, 93.38%, and 93.35%, respectively; and production of hydrogen peroxide for 24 hr was 95.75%, 94.77%, 94.58%, and 92.8%, respectively. Conclusions : Wogonin might have anti-viral property related with its inhibition of intracellular hydrogen peroxide production in poly I:C-stimulated TM4 cells.

Hydrogen production facility using very high temperature gas cooled reactor lies in situation of high temperature and corrosion which makes hydrogen release easily. In that case of hydrogen release, there lies a danger of explosion. However, from the point of thermal-hydraulics view, the long distance of them makes lower efficiency result. In this study, therefore, outlines of hydrogen production using nuclear energy are researched. Several methods for analyzing the effects of hydrogen explosion upon high temperature gas cooled reactor are reviewed. Reliability physics model which is appropriate for assessment is used. Using this model, leakage probability, rupture probability and structure failure probability of very high temperature gas cooled reactor are evaluated and classified by detonation volume and distance. Also based on standard safety criteria which is value of $1{\times}10^{-6}$, safety distance between the very high temperature gas cooled reactor and the hydrogen production facility is calculated.

Techno-economic analyses on a 5-MW water electrolysis system for hydrogen production, operated in Jeju Island where the portion of renewable energy in the power grid is the highest in Korea, have been performed. The cost of hydrogen production and the economic feasibility of the hydrogen production system have been mainly analyzed based on the levelized-cost-of-hydrogen model. The effects of carbon emission trading and renewable power purchase method have been considered to reduce the cost of green hydrogen production in the case studies. This economic analysis model is expected to be used to derive a business model for green hydrogen production.

한국의 수소경제 활성화 로드맵에 의하면 2040년 526만톤의 연간 수소공급이 필요하며 이 중 해외 생산부분이 50%를 담당해야 할 것으로 설정하였으나 부생, 추출, 수전해 방식의 수소공급이 원활하지 않을 경우 해외 생산 비중이 당초 계획보다 증가될 수 있다. 따라서 국외 생산분에 대해 다양한 공급원의 확보가 필수적이며, 본 기술보고에서는 주요 공급후보국인 캐나다의 수소생산/수송 정책, 현황, 향후 전망에 대해 살펴보고 가장 현실적인 수소공급 방법으로 여겨지는 블루수소 프로젝트의 사례를 소개하고자 한다.
