Summary:The use of hydrogen as a fuel on a large scale has been suggested as one alternative to the present large use of hydrocarbon fuels. For this to become a reality, hydrogen will have to be produced as cheaply as possible. This article reviews' some of the current methods used for hydrogen production, principally electrochemical, and descriptionbes some new photochemical methods which could involve the utilisation of solar energy.
