Abstract
The development of a hydrogen economy is increasingly seen as a sustainable solution to address global energy challenges, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. Chemical engineering plays a critical role in advancing hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and utilization technologies. This article explores the contributions of chemical engineering in the development of the hydrogen economy, focusing on innovative hydrogen production methods, such as water electrolysis, steam methane reforming, and biomass gasification. The paper also discusses challenges in hydrogen storage and distribution, and the role of chemical engineers in developing scalable and efficient solutions for a future hydrogen-based energy system.
