Abstract

Hydrogen has wide applications in petroleum, chemical synthesis and has been successfully demonstrated as a potentially zero emission fuel for transportations. As a country that is rich with natural resources and with the aims to be a developed country in 2020, Malaysia is currently intensified its renewable energy activities. The present work reviews all the resources and technologies related to hydrogen production in Malaysia. These technologies include non-renewable e.g. steam methane reforming (SMR) and renewable resources related to biomass processes e.g. gasification, pyrolysis, supercritical water gasification, biological water gas shift reaction, fermentation and water electrolysis e.g. using solar and wind energy. The techno-economic review is then presented for all these technologies to highlight the potential of present and future hydrogen production technologies in Malaysia.
