Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The concept of a hydrogen economy originated during the 1960s, developing into the modern-day "the third hydrogen wave", which has recently gained considerable attention as a promising solution to the challenges faced in decarbonization, energy security, and energy transition. The hydrogen economy is central to meeting global energy needs, fostering a transition from fossil fuels to renewable forms of energy. The hydrogen economy is the chain of production, distribution, and efficient utilization of hydrogen in various sectors, including transportation, industry, and power generation. Hydrogen can be produced using several different methods. The most common methods include steam methane reforming, electrolysis, and biomass gasification; however, some common challenges include expensive production methods, infrastructure development, and the need for large-scale renewable energy. In addition, there are concerns regarding storage and transportation, and safety is paramount. Despite these limitations, the hydrogen economy represents an effective option for a sustainable energy future. Governments, industries, and research institutions worldwide are investing in research and development to unlock the full potential of hydrogen as a clean energy solution.
