Hydrogen can be produced from a variety of feedstocks. These include fossil resources, such as
natural gas and coal, as well as renewable resources, such as biomass and water with input from
renewable energy sources (e.g. sunlight, wind, wave or hydro-power). A variety of process technologies
can be used, including chemical, biological, electrolytic, photolytic and thermo-chemical. Each
technology is in a different stage of development, and each offers unique opportunities, benefits and challenges. Local availability of feedstock, the maturity of the technology, market applications
and demand, policy issues, and costs will all influence the choice and timing of the various options
for hydrogen production. An overview of the various feedstocks and process technologies is presented
in Figure 1.
