Integrating Marine Renewable Energy with Green Hydrogen Production from Seawater: Feasibility and Future Prospects for Sustainable Energy Development in Indonesia

Abstract

This study examines the feasibility and prospects of integrating marine renewable energy (MRE) with green hydrogen production in Indonesia. As global energy demand increases and the environmental impacts of fossil fuels become more pronounced, the search for sustainable alternatives intensifies. Indonesia, with its extensive maritime resources, presents a unique opportunity to harness tidal wave and offshore wind energy for green hydrogen production from seawater. This research explores various electrolysis methods, particularly those that eliminate the need for desalination, thereby enhancing efficiency and reducing costs. The findings indicate that advanced electrolysis techniques can significantly lower energy and production costs while maintaining environmental sustainability by avoiding harmful chemicals and ensuring minimal ecological footprints. Moreover, the utilization of Indonesia’s extensive marine resources can foster energy independence, boost economic growth, and lower carbon emissions, which highlights the need for ongoing research and optimization to improve the economic and environmental feasibility of these technologies. This review article provides an in-depth analysis of the potential for MRE and green hydrogen production in Indonesia, outlining a viable path toward sustainable energy development.
