Hydrogen gas is thought to be the ideal fuel for a world in which air pollution has been alleviated, global warming has been arrested, and the environment has been protected in an economically sustainable manner. Hydrogen and electricity could team to provide attractive options in transportation and power generation. Interconversion between these two forms of energy suggests on-site utilization of hydrogen to generate electricity, with the electrical power grid serving in energy transportation, distribution utilization, and hydrogen regeneration as needed. A challenging problem in establishing H(2) as a source of energy for the future is the renewable and environmentally friendly generation of large quantities of H(2) gas. Thus, processes that are presently conceptual in nature, or at a developmental stage in the laboratory, need to be encouraged, tested for feasibility, and otherwise applied toward commercialization.
氢气被认为是一个空气污染得到缓解、全球变暖得到遏制且环境以经济可持续方式得到保护的世界的理想燃料。氢气和电力可以协同在交通运输和发电领域提供有吸引力的选择。这两种能源形式之间的相互转换意味着可在现场利用氢气发电，而电网则用于能源运输、分配利用以及根据需要进行氢气再生。将氢气确立为未来能源的一个具有挑战性的问题是大量氢气的可再生且环境友好型生产。因此，目前本质上仍处于概念阶段或实验室研发阶段的工艺需要得到鼓励、进行可行性测试，并以其他方式朝着商业化方向应用。
