Summary. This chapter contains sections titled: Timeline of the History of Hydrogen. The Hindenburg and Challenger Disasters. References.
The concept leading to a hydrogen economy lay in the work of a Nazi engineer, Lawaceck, 1968. I heard his suggestion of cheaper transfer of energy in hydrogen through pipes at a dinner in that year. A paper was published with Appleby in 1972 which was the first published document concerning that title and involving the title
In the 1930s, the Hindenburg, a German Zeppelin filled with hydrogen, made ten successful transatlantic flights from Germany to the United States. However, when it arrived in Lakehurst, New Jersey on 6 May 1937, it all went terribly wrong and the airship went up in flames. Nobody knows for sure what caused the Hindenburg to explode, but one of
Abstract. Hydrogen has become a crucial element in the search for clean energy solutions. It provides promise as a versatile and sustainable energy carrier. This
It took 380,000 years for electrons to be trapped in orbits around nuclei, forming the first atoms. These were mainly helium and hydrogen, which are still by far the most abundant elements in the universe. Present observations suggest that the first stars formed from clouds of gas around 150–200 million years after the Big Bang.
Hydrogen would be used for: 1) energy storage, 2) energy vectoring, and 3) fuel for vehicles. This "hydrogen triad" misses the fundamental point of how hydrogen should be created. Often, that''s
With this timeline, we look at some of the milestones in the history of hydrogen. Some, one will find, are more obscure and unexpected than others With many actors increasingly putting their faith in the progress of hydrogen energy, perhaps it is instructive to take a look at how far we''ve come over the 400-plus years that people have
In this context, hydrogen appears as an attractive energy carrier with high energy density (142 MJ kg −1 while for liquid hydrocarbons is 47 MJ kg −1 ) and with the possibility to produce
The History and Experience of the Hydrogen Energy Center. For three decades, our volunteer-run Maine non-profit corporation has advanced the transition to a renewable hydrogen energy economy through education, demonstration, and advocacy. 1991 Hydrogen Energy Opportunities Center, predecessor to HEC, is created in
As a result of these factors, green hydrogen production cost has reduced by 40% since 2015 and is expected to fall further in the future [ 46 ]. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance with the current trend hydrogen production costs will be around $0.70–$1.60 per kg in most parts of the world by 2050 [ 44 ].
The history of hydrogen — the element that fills the world as we know it — consists of a most dramatic set of events. Hydrogen and helium atoms emerged a measly 379,000 years after the Big
Currently, hydrogen is recognized by many countries around the world as a flexible option capable of creating a new global geopolitical map and reshaping the structure of global energy markets. Many countries around the world have established national strategies to develop the hydrogen value chain.
Hydrogen energy is an important cornerstone for realizing net-zero and sustainable development plans. The successful construction of a hydrogen society requires

Global hydrogen production by technology in the Net Zero Scenario, 2019-2030. IEA. Licence: CC BY 4.0. Dedicated hydrogen production today is primarily based on fossil fuel technologies, with around a sixth of the global hydrogen supply coming from "by-product" hydrogen, mainly in the petrochemical industry.
This chapter describes the long history of the development of hydrogen and related technologies starting in the sixteenth century. Various applications in the
Abstract. Hydrogen, which has been suggested as the ultimate fuel of the future, can be made from water using a variety of energy sources; when burned to produce heat energy, its only combustion product is water, thus a hydrogen energy delivery system would be recyclable and environmentally acceptable. In this paper the history of hydrogen
History of Hydrogen K 2018 HyDeploy: UK''s first hydrogen blending deployment project launched with focus on injecting zero-carbon hydrogen into the natural gas network K 2017 Ministerial Council on Renewable Energy, Hydrogen and Related Issues publishes
In line with the sustainable energy vision of our future, Becherif et al. [25] discoursed more benefits derivable from hydrogen including: (i) security of energy via drop of oil imports, (ii) sustainability by maximizing renewable energy sources, (iii) reduction of pollution and improvement of urban air quality by the generation of near-zero carbon,
Hydrogen is the most environmentally friendly and cleanest fuel that has the potential to supply most of the world''s energy in the future, replacing the present fossil fuel-based energy infrastructure. Hydrogen is expected to solve the problem of energy shortages in the near future, especially in complex geographical areas (hills, arid plateaus
The history of hydrogen — the element that fills the world as we know it — consists of a most dramatic set of events. Hydrogen and helium atoms emerged a
Hydrogen and energy have a long shared history – powering the first internal combustion engines over 200 years ago to becoming an integral part of the modern refining industry. It is light,
Abstract. Hydrogen gas has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the extensive research on hydrogen''s applications in the energy sector often overshadows its potential as a medically and biologically active gas.
Chi et al. have pointed out that changing the hydrogen production by using renewable electricity can enhance the interconversion of electricity and hydrogen and expand the hydrogen application [5]. Numerous researches on renewable hydrogen production technologies were launched and have generated great interest [6] .
Hydrogen as a Lifting Gas: The early 20th century witnessed the use of hydrogen as a lifting gas in Germany. The infamous Hindenburg airship, which tragically caught fire in 1937, used hydrogen. This event led to a shift towards the use of helium, a safer alternative. Post-World War II Research: After World War II, hydrogen research in
Global climate change concerns have pushed international governmental actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by adopting cleaner technologies, hoping to transition to a more sustainable society. The hydrogen economy is one potential long-term option for enabling deep decarbonization for the future energy landscape. Progress
Green hydrogen energy can be used as a renewable, clean, and efficient energy source for new energy vehicles. In recent years, extreme weather around the world due to climate change has occurred increasingly frequently, and countries globally have gradually
