Preparation, Storage, and Transportation of Green Hydrogen and Multi-Scenario Application Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Green hydrogen is produced using renewable energy for power generation, such as hydropower, wind power, solar power, biomass power, marine power, and geothermal power. Hydrogen production by electrolysis of water is a real way to achieve zero carbon hydrogen production, and it is gradually becoming one of the important carriers of global energy transformation and development and the core force to achieve net zero emissions and control global warming.

The 2021 Global Hydrogen Energy Assessment Report released by the International Energy Agency (IEA) points out that hydrogen will play a key role in the global energy transition. By 2030, the global hydrogen demand for terminal applications of hydrogen energy will reach about 90 million tons. According to the International Hydrogen Energy Commission, hydrogen energy is expected to account for 18% of the global energy consumption structure by 2050, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 6 billion tons. However, almost all hydrogen energy produced worldwide is “gray hydrogen”, that is, hydrogen energy is produced from fossil fuels such as natural gas. The development of green hydrogen technology will become a powerful driving force for the construction of new power systems and clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient modern energy systems.

To show the research progress and development trend in this field and share the latest academic and technical achievements, we have established the Topic of “Preparation, Storage, and Transportation of Green Hydrogen and Multi-Scenario Application Technology”. We hope to discuss the latest progress and future direction with all the scholars from across the world and promote in-depth research and technological progress in green hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and application.
