👉 Hydrogen engineering is the multidisciplinary field focused on the production, storage, transportation, and utilization of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier. It encompasses various technologies and processes to generate hydrogen efficiently and sustainably, such as electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources, steam methane reforming with carbon capture, and biological methods like bio-photolysis. Hydrogen storage solutions include high-pressure tanks, cryogenic liquid hydrogen, and solid-state materials like metal hydrides or chemical carriers. Transportation involves specialized pipelines, tankers, or even hydrogen carriers such as ammonia or liquid organic hydrogen carriers. Finally, hydrogen's integration into energy systems, including fuel cells for power generation and industrial processes, aims to reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy security. This field is crucial for advancing towards a hydrogen economy, which relies on clean hydrogen to replace fossil fuels in sectors like transportation, heating, and manufacturing.
