Policy Challenges and Applications of Hydrogen Energy and Energy Storage Technologies in Energy Transition

Abstract

With the acceleration of the global energy transition process and the formulation of "carbon neutrality" goals by various countries, new energy means represented by hydrogen energy and energy storage technologies play a key role in building a low-carbon, safe, efficient and resilient energy system. Hydrogen energy can provide clean fuel for sectors that are difficult to reduce emissions, such as transportation, industry, and chemical engineering. Energy storage technology provides effective support for increasing the proportion of renewable energy and enhancing the resilience of the power system. However, although these technologies have achieved a certain degree of scale in the application stage, there are still problems in relevant policies such as the lack of standards, slow commercialization progress, incomplete infrastructure and unbalanced international cooperation. In response to the above situation, it is necessary to further ensure the smooth progress of hydrogen energy and energy storage technologies in the energy transition process through measures such as promoting demonstration projects, optimizing the marketization process, strengthening infrastructure construction and enhancing the level of international cooperation.
