The Coupling Development of Hydrogen and Energy Storage Technology: Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract

[Introduction] Hydrogen energy and energy storage are important tools to achieve the goal of "carbon peak and neutrality." Their industrialization is entering a period of rapid development. The industry and technological innovation of hydrogen energy and energy storage have various intersections and integration. Therefore, the research provides suggestions for their coupling development by sorting out the application scenarios and key technologies of hydrogen energy and energy storage. [Method] The role of hydrogen energy in the construction of new power systems as energy storage technology was specified and the positioning of hydrogen energy in promoting carbon emission reduction in transportation, construction, industry, and other fields was explained. The common key technologies of hydrogen energy and energy storage were analyzed. Suggestions to promote the development of its coupling were also put forward. [Result] New energy penetrates into power, transportation, construction, industry, and other fields for deep decarbonization in the form of hydrogen energy and energy storage, but the bottleneck of their industrial technologies needs to be broken through continuously. [Conclusion] The common key technologies of hydrogen energy and energy storage can be collaboratively researched and developed, and their industrialization still needs to be brewed. In promoting engineering demonstration, we should actively accumulate experience as well as master the core technology and avoid blind and duplicate construction.
