    Main Results:

    • Potential overall thermal efficiencies of 40-60% for new closed-cycle processes.
    • Identification of key technical challenges: materials compatibility, kinetics, separation, and heat exchangers.
    • Open-cycle thermochemical processes are projected as the primary technology for the next two decades.

    Conclusions:

    • Thermochemical hydrogen generation, particularly open-cycle methods, is crucial for future industrial hydrogen supply.
    • Closed-cycle and combined thermochemical-electrolytic processes show long-term potential but require further R&D.
    • Electrolysis remains viable for small-scale applications or with very low electricity costs.
