Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain: Production, Storage, and Applications – An Exploratory Study
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study explores the role of hydrogen as a clean and efficient secondary energy source in the global energy transition. Hydrogen has gained significant attention in energy research due to its zero carbon emissions, high heat value, safety features, and versatile applications. The research aims to comprehensively understand the role and impact of hydrogen in future energy systems. Through current survey methods and data analysis, the study elucidates trends in hydrogen technology development, the influence of policies and regulations, and its position in the global energy transition. The technological evolution of the hydrogen supply chain, including green hydrogen, blue hydrogen, hydrogen storage, and transportation, is highlighted. Government support, especially driven by Taiwan's hydrogen development goals and related regulations, has accelerated the growth of the hydrogen industry. In the global energy transition, hydrogen emerges as a key factor in achieving goals due to its zero emissions, diverse applications, and advantages in energy storage. However, hydrogen still faces challenges in technology and cost. Therefore, future research is recommended to focus on addressing technical bottlenecks in hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and applications, while enhancing international cooperation and technological innovation. Additionally, further understanding of the practical impact of government policies on the hydrogen industry is essential to promote its broader application in the global energy system.
