Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, hydrogen is considered a future energy carrier. With energy transformation currently underway, the use of hydrogen will enable effective cross-sectoral linkage between environmentally friendly, distributed generation systems for electricity and heat, clean transportation, and decarbonised industry. However, producing, storing, transmitting, and finally using hydrogen in a climate-neutral way involves plenty of challenges. The lecture will introduce current issues concerning the development and implementation of modern hydrogen technologies, with particular focus on H2 production methods and the use of hydrogen fuel in fuel cells. What will also be presented are selected results of recent research conducted at the AGH University Department of Energy and Fuels, perfectly in line with the Polish sector agreement for the development of the hydrogen economy.
