The aim of this study is to raise awareness about hydrogen as an eco-friendly energy carrier considered as an alternative to environmentally harmful fossil fuels and to develop recommendations for hydrogen production by examining the performance of unfiltered and filtered seawater as well as sodium sulfate and magnesium sulfate salt solutions in hydrogen production through the electrolysis method.
In this study, hydrogen, which stands out as a future energy source, was experimentally produced using the electrolysis method. For this purpose, the hydrogen production performance of seawater, sodium sulfate, and magnesium sulfate solutions was thoroughly examined in the established electrolysis setups. The results of the research revealed that higher amounts of hydrogen could be produced from unfiltered seawater compared to the other solutions. Based on this finding, it is proposed that hydrogen production from seawater via electrolysis can be achieved using systems placed on platforms established on the sea surface. Furthermore, the required electrical energy for these systems could be generated from wave energy, photovoltaic panels, and wind turbines.
Although hydrogen is not widely utilized today and storage challenges persist, it is undeniable that its eco-friendly nature warrants further research to develop production methods, storage, and transportation systems, ensuring its widespread adoption. This study highlights the potential of hydrogen as an energy carrier for the future and aims to raise awareness of its significance.
