Hydrogen is playing more and more important roles in the current and particularly future society. How to produce a huge amount of hydrogen in an economical and environmentally friendly way is a challenge. Water electrolysis is clearly one of the few ways, but facing many issues. In this presentation, I will discuss water treatment to secure future water supplies, catalysts development to reduce the energy consumption, membranes designing and developing, and electrolyzer designing and testing. Another more challenging issue hydrogen storage and transport. We propose a combined system that can store and transport an unlimited amount of hydrogen that can provide the cooling capability to cool high temperature superconductor that can store a huge amount of electrical energy and also levitate vehicles for moving people and goods at a superfast speed close to airplane.
