## 2 Battery and Hydrogen Energy Storage System
### Hydrogen Energy Storage Systems (HESSs)  
Hydrogen energy storage systems (HESSs) produce hydrogen using a variety of techniques, most notably electrolysis. In this process, water molecules (H\({}_{2}\)O) are divided into hydrogen (H\({}_{2}\)) and oxygen (O\({}_{2}\)) using electricity. Electrolysis is a sustainable method of \begin{table}

Steam methane reforming (SMR), a different process (Table 4) that also produces hydrogen from natural gas, is less environmentally friendly than electrolysis since it releases carbon dioxide (CO\({}_{2}\)) as a byproduct. Thermochemical reactions and biomass gasification are two more less-used techniques. The capacity of electrolysis to produce clean hydrogen makes it unique and compatible with initiatives to attain energy sustainability and lower carbon emissions [47; 48; 49; 50; 51; 52]. Given its low density and flammability, hydrogen distribution and storage must be performed carefully. Solid-state storage, liquefaction, and compression are examples of storage techniques (Table 5). Compression is the process of compressing hydrogen gas at high pressures for storage and transit; it offers deployment flexibility but also requires a strong infrastructure. At extremely low temperatures (\(-253\)\({}^{\circ}\)C), liquefaction lowers hydrogen to liquid form, allowing for increased storage densities but necessitating energy-intensive cooling. Solid-state storage, an emerging technology, involves absorbing hydrogen into materials like metal hydrides, offering safe storage and the potential for high energy density. Distribution typically occurs via pipelines or specialized tankers, though infrastructure challenges remain for widespread adoption [53; 54; 55; 56; 57]. Because of the adaptability of hydrogen as an energy carrier and its potential to decarbonize the industry, HESSs find a wide range of applications in various sectors. Hydrogen fuel cells provide a clean substitute for fossil fuels in stationary power and transportation by producing electricity and heat with only water vapor as waste.
