Climate change and the increasing demand for energy become major issues in
public discussions today. The Paris Agreement is one of the results of such
public discussions that focuses on achieving the 2050 Net Zero Emission
target. Many energy agencies have created scenarios to achieve this target.
In this regard, green hydrogen is expected to have a significant role in
energy transition plan. For this reason, in recent years, research related
to green hydrogen production using the water electrolysis method continues
to develop. The paper aimed primarily to conduct an overview of alternative
technologies that can be used in producing green hydrogen with the solar
energy based low temperature water electrolysis method. Secondarily, it
would present information about several solar energy-based electrolysis
project plans and a summary of challenges and opportunities in the
development of solar energy based low temperature water electrolyzers in the
future. Furthermore, to achieve commercially viable green hydrogen
production, it is important to find new ideas, potential solutions, and
constructive recommendations as soon as possible for further development
research. This paper expectedly would be able to help initiate the
development of green hydrogen production research through water electrolysis
technology that is efficient, cost effective economically, and
environmentally friendly.
