Introduction
Hydrogen energy is gaining prominence as a promising alternative to fossil fuels amid rising global energy demands and finite resources. Fueled by extensive research and government investments, hydrogen stands out as a key contender for creating sustainable, eco-friendly energy sources to replace traditional fuels. Its versatility, derived from water, biomass, and natural gas, positions hydrogen as a transformative element in reshaping the energy landscape. As nations prioritize environmentally conscious solutions, hydrogen's potential plays a crucial role in transitioning towards cleaner and more efficient energy systems, addressing climate concerns and reducing reliance on depleting fossil fuel reserves.
