Introduction
Yield efficiency measures how effectively input resources (electricity, water, fuel) are converted into hydrogen during production.

🧠 What It Means
% of theoretical hydrogen output achieved vs. actual.
High yield = low losses and optimised operation.
Used in electrolysis, SMR, and biomass gasification.
❗ Key Challenges
Depends on system configuration, feedstock purity, temperature.
Efficiency drops at partial load or startup phases.
Often misunderstood vs. total energy efficiency.
🦁 Muzaffar’s Comment
“If you want profitable hydrogen, yield efficiency is where to start.”
🦉 Sameer’s Comment
“Not all input becomes output — efficiency tells you how close you get.”
