This chapter focuses on the major near-term opportunities whereby hydrogen can contribute to modern energy policy goals. Key applications of hydrogen are described in areas such as industrial applications (both established and emerging), domestic heating, transport and mobility. Concerning the latter: ground, air and maritime opportunities are discussed. One aspect of transportation usage is highlighted – the use of hydrogen in fuel cell electric vehicles or in hydrogen combusting internal combustion engines. The industrial use of hydrogen is still dominated by the needs of the traditional petroleum industry together with demands from ammonia producers for agricultural fertilizer manufacture. Emerging industrial opportunities include low-carbon primary steel making.

摘要

This chapter focuses on the major near-term opportunities whereby hydrogen can contribute to modern energy policy goals. Key applications of hydrogen are described in areas such as industrial applications (both established and emerging), domestic heating, transport and mobility. Concerning the latter: ground, air and maritime opportunities are discussed. One aspect of transportation usage is highlighted – the use of hydrogen in fuel cell electric vehicles or in hydrogen combusting internal combustion engines. The industrial use of hydrogen is still dominated by the needs of the traditional petroleum industry together with demands from ammonia producers for agricultural fertilizer manufacture. Emerging industrial opportunities include low-carbon primary steel making.
