Strategic Analysis of Hydrogen Energy Policies and Technology Layout in Major Countries

Abstract

AbstractIn the context of the global clean and low-carbon energy transition, hydrogen energy has become an important direction for energy technology innovation in the contemporary world. Many countries around the world have paid great attention to the development of hydrogen energy and leveraged it to the national strategies. This study firstly reviews the development of global hydrogen energy, focusing on the global hydrogen energy supply, hydrogen energy demand, the current situation and development trend of hydrogen energy. Secondly, based on data collected from government websites, key R&D institutions and well-known databases (e.g. CODIS database), a strategic analysis of hydrogen energy policies and technologies of main countries is conducted. In terms of policy, textual analysis is used to analyse the global hydrogen energy layout direction and the strategic positioning, strategic layout and strategic objectives of hydrogen energy in countries such as the United States, European Union, Japan and China. In terms of technology, the keyword search method is used to obtain data on scientific research projects in the field of hydrogen energy, and quantitative analysis is conducted to analyse the characteristics of the technical layout of global hydrogen energy research projects, and to analyse the funding of hydrogen energy projects and the focus of hydrogen energy technology research. Finally, suggestions for the future development of hydrogen energy are discussed.
