HYDROGEN ENERGY FOR A CLEANER ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

At the onset of this new century, we are facing the early warning signs of an impending global environmental crisis. We are also becoming aware of the finite nature of our fossil fuel sources and their uneven distribution. These challenges favor a transition to a new energy system based on hydrogen, a clean energy vector. In this article, we discuss the challenges to the introduction of hydrogen on the energy market: production, infrastructure, safety, with special emphasis on hydrogen storage, as well as the solutions proposed to overcome them
