A system and method for thermal energy delivery for hydrogen (H2) gas production is disclosed. The method involves generating electricity via a solar plant and providing it to a hydrogen electrolyzer. Thermal energy from the solar plant is used to heat a primary working fluid, which transfers heat to a secondary working fluid in an evaporator, converting it into vapor. This vaporized secondary working fluid drives a turbine, generating electricity through a Rankine cycle system where the secondary working fluid circulates continuously, transmitting the secondary working fluid and a portion of the generated electricity to the hydrogen electrolyzer, which splits the secondary working fluid into H2 gas and oxygen, storing the H2 gas in a hydrogen gas storage tank. When solar power is unavailable, the stored electricity in the battery energy storage is supplied to the electrolyzer.
