Ocean Powered Hydrogen Oxygen Plant (OPHOP)

Abstract

This paper aims at describing a small scale prototype of ocean energy converter system for hydrogen production, promoting the opportunity of such installation in coastal areas. The process of producing hydrogen from sea-water identifies ocean energy as the most promising solution for electricity generation as well as hydrogen production. Hydrogen is considered as the most promising secondary sources, criticism arises from different sectors of the world since hydrogen production requires energy consumption. Present scenario of utilizing energy from fossil fuel for the production of hydrogen has to be avoided as part of sustainable development. Fuel demanding sectors such as transportation, demand for the increased hydrogen production, which is considered as energy carrier for future applications. Sustainable Engineering suggests utilization of environmentally friendly technologies argued that use of hydrogen to empower internal combustion engine vehicles as well as fuel cell vehicles, can satisfy the energy Thus the dependency on fossil fuel in automobile industry as well as for hydrogen which will contribute in increased hydrogen production. So this paper focuses on the production of hydrogen more economically as well as eco-friendly.
