Abstract

Hydrogen is clean and renewable and is recognized as a very promising energy to solve both depletion of petroleum resource and environmental problems caused by use of fossil fuels. Extensive researches have been performed worldwide on the production technologies of hydrogen. In this paper, characteristics of hydrogen production technologies were analyzed from the literature survey. Also, The technology trend of hydrogen production was scrutinized based on patent analysis. In patent analysis the search range was limited to the open patents issued from 1996 to 2005. Patents were gathered by using the key-words searching method and filtered by desirable filtering criteria. The technology trend of hydrogen production was discussed by classifying each patent based on the publishing year, country, and company, and the type of production technology.
