Abstract Hydrogen and synthesis gas (syngas) production from water and carbon dioxide as well as fuel processing for fuel cells and for transport applications have great potential in addressing major challenges in the area of energy. This review highlights recent progress and future trends on energy storage via carbon‐neutral fuels made from water, carbon dioxide and renewable energies. The various electrochemical, thermochemical and photochemical energy conversion technologies for dissociation of H 2 O or/and CO 2 are reviewed and discussed systematically.
