Hydrogen production research
The insertion of the hydrogen technologies into Mexico's energy portfolio is a complex matter. Historically, the government has monopolized the energy sector. However, very recently (August 2014) an energy reform bill approved by the Mexican Congress and ratified as a law by the President allowed foreign investment in the energy sector. In this context, there is a great opportunity for alternative energy and specifically for hydrogen technologies to flourish within Mexico. Specifically, the opportunity for the hydrogen production research activities to contribute to the advance and possible application of the related hydrogen technologies is today of paramount importance. The present paper is aimed to present a review of research activities in the field of hydrogen production in Mexico. Main research activities are reflected in Journal publications and conference proceedings within the last seven years. These resulted in the following topics and contributions: Hydrogen production (HP) from biological processes and wastes 40.4%, followed by HP through conventional and non-conventional fuels (CO2 capture & Catalysis) 22.4%, HP by photocatalysis & photo-electrocatalysis 14.1%, HP systems and controls 12.2%, theoretical and thermodynamic studies for HP 7.7%, and HP by electrolysis 3.2%. A wide variety of potential applications can be followed by these contributions, while the spread of this research can be a key for future national or international collaborations that may strengthen this important area within the energy sector to take advantage of the upcoming opportunities in the country.
