Hydrogen energy, Hydrogen production, Hydrogen energy storage and transportation.Abstract
As the world tackles climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, hydrogen energy is believed to play a crucial role in the global shift to cleaner energy sources. Collaborative efforts across sectors are currently propelling the hydrogen energy industry to overcome obstacles and challenges, transitioning from pilot projects to widespread commercialization, thus advancing a cleaner, low-carbon, safer, and more efficient energy system. This article provides an in-depth examination at the hydrogen energy industry’s current development. We will then examine the hydrogen energy industry chain, providing an in-depth analysis at each link and its projected development. We anticipate future hydrogen energy industry trends and hope this information improves everyone’s understanding of it.
