The rapid expansion of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power has become essential for reducing dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating climate change. However, one of the major challenges associated with these renewable sources is their intermittent nature. Solar power generation depends on sunlight and therefore varies with the time of day, weather conditions, and seasonal changes. Similarly, wind energy depends on wind availability, which can fluctuate unpredictably. These variations often lead to mismatches between electricity generation and energy demand. Hydrogen energy storage has emerged as a promising solution to address these intermittency challenges by storing excess renewable energy and providing it when required. Hydrogen energy storage involves converting surplus electrical energy into hydrogen through a process known as electrolysis. During electrolysis, electricity is used to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. When solar panels or wind turbines generate more electricity than the grid requires, this excess energy can be used to power electrolyzers that produce hydrogen gas. The hydrogen produced can then be stored for later use in various forms such as compressed gas, liquefied hydrogen, or in chemical carriers like metal hydrides or ammonia. This process effectively transforms electrical energy into chemical energy that can be stored for long durations. One of the key advantages of hydrogen energy storage is its ability to store energy over long periods. Unlike conventional batteries
