Abstract
Studies show that the developed world will need even more energy in the future. At the same time, the reserves of fossil fuels are rapidly running out. Due to ecological and demographic impacts, there is a high probability of a series of changes occurring on our planet over the next fifty to seventy years. One of the best ways how to avoid global warming effect is the use of hydrogen technologies. Hydrogen is used widely by petrochemical, agricultural, manufacturing, food processing, electronics, plastics, metallurgical, aerospace and other industries. The consumption of hydrogen is possibly in many ways but most perspective is the use of fuel cells. One of the biggest problems in hydrogen technology is to produce enough hydrogen for use in all technical applications. One of the most optimistic procedures is hybrid thermochemical decomposition of water and solar photochemical production of hydrogen. In the presented article, we have tried to develop energy analysis which model shows the best results regarding Slovenia region
