Hydrogen or also known as H 2 in chemical writing become one of a high potential renewable fuel, energy storage, and energy carrier. There’s various types of hydrogen based on its processing, which are Black & Brown Hydrogen, Grey Hydrogen (95% of hydrogen produced from this type), Blue Hydrogen, Bio-Hydrogen, and Green-Hydrogen. Blue and green hydrogen is the suitable choices for energy application especially in ASEAN because of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology that applied on the process and greenhouse gases (GHG) free. But generally, hydrogen application in ASEAN is not optimally unlocked, only a few countries and a few sectors applied hydrogen as renewable energy sources (RESs). The main problems on these issues are hydrogen application cost is not competitive to other RESs. The high cost of hydrogen might cause by high production cost that should be lowered down by applying various technology to the production process such as CMR-SMR. This study critically research on solution of how hydrogen can be used optimally in ASEAN from technical, technology, and economics perspectives.
