Introduction
Yield in hydrogen production is the total amount of hydrogen generated from a process, usually expressed in kg, Nm³, or percentage of theoretical maximum.

🧠 What It Means
Fundamental measure of productivity.
Different from efficiency — yield is absolute, efficiency is relative.
Calculated based on feedstock type, energy input, and time.
❗ Key Challenges
Affected by impurities, energy fluctuations, and equipment degradation.
High yield doesn’t always mean low cost or low emissions.
Needs consistent calibration and monitoring.
🦁 Muzaffar’s Comment
“The yield is your scoreboard — how much hydrogen did you really make?”
🦉 Sameer’s Comment
“Big yield, low waste — that’s the hydrogen goal.”
