Abstract

With more global warming and air pollution, building a low-carbon and sustainable industry and economy urgent to be resolved. In that case, hydrogen energy has entered people’s field of vision. With decades of implementation of green hydrogen technologies, some pilot and industry-scale projects are making enormous progress, and industrialization and commercialization of hydrogen energy seem possible to achieve in near future. This article would analyse hydrogen energy developments from production, storage & delivery, and application aspects in China, the United States, and Japan, which are the world’s top three countries of hydrogen energy production and development1. Besides, comparisons of advantages and disadvantages of hydrogen energy developments are carried out within these three countries.
