The world energy demand is being increased in recent years.Today’s world needs highly efficient system that can fulfill the growing demand for energy. There is strong need for alternative energy source, which is environmental begin and can be produced renewably. Hydrogen is receiving renewed attention driven by growing concerns about climate change, air quality, integration of variable renewable energy sources and rapid technical progress in fuel cell systems. Hydrogen is recognized as a potential fuel, clean energy carrier and a carbon free element for fuel cell systems for the generation of electricity and heat. But currently storage and transportation of hydrogen is research challenge. On-board production of hydrogen from renewable hydrocarbon source can be possible solution to this problem. Mainly proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) gained attention of researchers for power generation, which will operate at both elevated as well as lower temperature. PEMFC involves the conversion of the chemical energy stored in fuel cell to electrical energy with minimal or no pollution. PEMFCs are the most significant technology in fuel cell system and high energy conversion efficiency. This article brings together and examines the latest research on hydrogen production via steam reforming and auto thermal reforming from various energy sources like Methanol, Ethanol, Glycerol, Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes etc and its integration with PEMFC. In this research the hydrogen production for PEMFC integrated systems were analyzed and the effect of operating parameters like temperature, steam-to-carbon molar ratio and oxygen-to-carbon molar ratio were investigated on electrical and/or thermal efficiency of PEMFC system.
