Abstract
Other sources of renewable energy are available for hydrogen production: hydroelectricity, tidal energy, wave energy, ocean thermal energy, solar thermal energy and biomasses can all be considered as alternatives to wind energy and solar photovoltaic energy. The advanced production procedures based on the reaction of sunlight with organic and inorganic materials can be another viable technique to obtain hydrogen.
