Powering tomorrow’s farms: A roadmap for hydrogen energy systems in off-grid rural agricultural decarbonization

Jacobo Puga Sanchez, Saeed Manshadi · 2025 · Energy Reports

Summary. This paper develops a practical roadmap for implementing hydrogen energy systems on off-grid farms to reduce agricultural emissions. It compares hydrogen systems against renewable energy and diesel alternatives, examines costs and logistics of hydrogen transport, analyzes power electronics integration, explores hydrogen use in farm vehicles, and proposes a simplified system design to help farmers adopt the technology. The work targets researchers, engineers, and policymakers working on sustainable agriculture.
