Hydrogen could be the final solution to achieving carbon neutrality as it will contribute largely to decarbonization in transportation, power generation, and industry.

Hydrogen energy has many advantages. (1) hydrogen is easy to burn and has a high calorific value: 1 gram of hydrogen can release 431 kilojoules of heat when completely burned, while 1 gram of standard coal has a calorific value of about 29 kilojoules; (2) hydrogen exists widely and is abundant in nature; (3) hydrogen can be produced from a variety of local resources, such as wind power, photovoltaic power or grid electricity, which can be obtained by decomposing fossil fuels, biomass and water; (4) hydrogen combustion mainly produces water, which can be recycled and reused to produce hydrogen; (5) hydrogen combustion is clean and environmentally friendly, especially without carbon emissions; (6) hydrogen can be used in many ways, such as direct combustion to generate heat and for fuel cells; (7) with the decrease of temperature, hydrogen can be converted from gaseous to liquid or solid existence, which can adapt to storage and transportation environment and a variety of different applications.

Over the past decades, more than 30 countries have developed hydrogen energy strategies. The United States was the first country to include hydrogen energy and fuel cells in its energy strategy and put forward the concept of a "hydrogen economy" in the 1970s. Japan is the first country to put forward the construction of a "hydrogen society". With the world's leading hydrogen energy technology, its hydrogen energy, and fuel cell technology patents account for about 30% of worldwide. Last year, hydrogen energy was widely used at the Winter Olympics in Beijing, China. More than 1,000 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, including buses, cars, and special vehicles from Toyota, Geely, BAIC, Yutong, Foton, and other automakers, are running in the Beijing Winter Olympics Park. More than 30 hydrogen refueling stations are equipped, making it the largest demonstration operation of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in the world so far.
