Abstract

In this study, exergetic sustainability indicators of solar methane cracking for hydrogen production have been analysed. For this purpose, solar methane cracking system is considered a cleaner process for production of hydrogen fuel from natural gas. To evaluate the system comprehensively, a detailed exergy analysis is performed, and indicators based on exergetic sustainability are defined and calculated. The system has an exergy efficiency of 53% and a recoverable exergy ratio of 34%. Further improvements to the system can lead to enhanced sustainability.
