With current tech, electrolysis generally produces hydrogen at about 75 per cent efficiency. So to create a kilo of pure hydrogen fuel, which holds about 39.4kWh of energy, it takes 52.5kWh.
But even if the hydrogen is green — made from renewables-generated electricity — it is up to six times more efficient to use that electricity to heat homes directly using, for instance, heat

Efficiency of modern hydrogen generators is measured by energy consumed per standard volume of hydrogen (MJ/m 3), assuming standard temperature and pressure of the H 2. The lower the energy used by a generator, the higher would be its efficiency; a 100%-efficient electrolyser would consume 39.4 kilowatt-hours per kilogram (142 MJ/kg) of
Jamie Spiers (2017) looked at the efficiency of the blue hydrogen conversion process and found a range of values between 60 and 90% for steam methane reforming (SMR) process. The efficiency rate was assumed to be much lower in the paper at 55%. The capture rate of the carbon capture and storage (CCS) process also has a
In the case of hydrogen, improving the efficiency and lifespan of fuel cells is crucial to ensure the economic viability of hydrogen-based energy systems.
Water electrolysis is the most effective zero-emission hydrogen production technology when utilizing renewable energy as the electricity source. Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) water electrolysis using an ion exchange membrane is a high efficiency technology for generating high-purity hydrogen.
IEA analysis finds that the cost of producing hydrogen from renewable electricity could fall 30% by 2030 as a result of declining costs of renewables and the scaling up of hydrogen production. Fuel cells, refuelling equipment and electrolysers (which produce hydrogen from electricity and water) can all benefit from mass manufacturing.
Under the base-case condition (i.e., STH efficiency = 5%, device longevity = 10 years), producing only hydrogen yields a negative energy balance of ca. −160 MJ/m 2 /year.
The optimization process increased the hydrogen production efficiency of the PV/PEM electrolyzer up to 12 %. Garrigos et al.

This ingenious method yielded impressive results. The Fe-doped Ni 3 S 2 /Ni foil/OHP photoanodes achieved an extraordinary efficiency of 12.79 percent, outperforming previous OHP-based photoanodes
Broadly, hydrogen production from water technologies has the potential to achieve high hydrogen yields, while energy efficiency is very low to be economically competitive with other technologies.
BMW H2R. Musashi 9 Liquid hydrogen truck. A hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicle (HICEV) is a type of hydrogen vehicle using an internal combustion engine. [1] Hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles are different from hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (which utilize hydrogen electrochemically rather than through combustion).

Hydrogen will be a necessary part of the future power mix, despite its poor round-trip efficiency, Mitsubishi Power boss tells Polly Martin When it comes to short-duration storage, high efficiency is necessary as otherwise energy is
The clean energy sector of the future needs both batteries and electrolysers. The price of lithium-ion batteries – the key technology for electrifying transport – has declined sharply in recent years after having been developed for widespread use in consumer electronics. Governments in many countries have adopted policies
Hydrogen has an important potential to accelerate the process of scaling up clean and renewable energy, however its integration in power systems remains little
Faraday efficiency. In electrochemistry, Faraday efficiency (also called faradaic efficiency, faradaic yield, coulombic efficiency, or current efficiency) describes the efficiency with which charge ( electrons) is transferred in a system facilitating an electrochemical reaction. The word "Faraday" in this term has two interrelated aspects

Electrolysis, an energy-intensive process for hydrogen production, is still confronting challenges to manifest
Increasing the efficiency of electrolysis to the 95% Higher Heating Value (HHV) efficiency claimed by various companies – which would change the 70% LHV value in our calculation to 80% – would ultimately only increase the cycle''s overall efficiency from 37% to 43%.
