Hydrogen Economy and Innovative Six Sigma Applications for Energy Efficiency

The supply of fossil energy is not equally distributed over the world. Despite the growth in renewable energy, fossil fuels will continue to dominate the energy sector for the near future. As an alternative energy source, hydrogen is regarded as a suitable storage and transmission vector of energy from renewable power systems.The aim of this paper is to assemble public and private sector officials in an international strategic planning process to advance the efficient development of a hydrogen economy infrastructure and to understand six sigma methodology and its contribution to energy efficiency. In this paper, Six Sigma methodology - a rigorous and disciplined methodology that uses data and statistical analysis to measure and improve performance - has been applied to hydrogen energy to boost energy efficiency and to emphasize the importance of exploring potential future sources of sustainable, reliable and competitively priced energy.This study is an initiative to implement the six sigma methodology in a Hydrogen power plant with the aim of encouraging governments to support the use of renewable energy i.e. hydrogen energy.
