Hydrogen energy is superior in wide sources, has higher calorific value, availability for storage, no pollution, etc., and is therefore deemed as a clean energy source with huge development potential. In "China's carbon peak and neutrality" objectives, hydrogen energy is conducive to realizing deep decarbonization in many fields, including power, transportation, iron and steel, construction, etc. As the largest hydrogen producer in the world now, China has an annual hydrogen output of about 33 million tons. Thus China has a good industrial base for hydrogen energy development. The Plan on the Development of Hydrogen Energy for the 2021-2035 Period was issued jointly by National Development and Reform Commission and National Energy Administration in Mar. 2022 to make clear the three major "strategic orientations" of hydrogen energy, i.e., Hydrogen energy is the important integral part to the energy system of China; hydrogen energy is the important carrier to realize green and low-carbon transformation at end-users, and hydrogen energy industry is the strategic emerging industry and serves as key industrial development orientation in the future. Hydrogen energy can be divided into grey hydrogen, blue hydrogen, and green hydrogen by carbon emission intensity. The green hydrogen prepared by water electrolysis with clean and renewable energy denotes the zero-emission hydrogen production process in the true sense.
However, currently, green hydrogen is still faced with such problems as high costs and imperfect policies and systems, and the green hydrogen projects are mostly single-point demonstration projects. Thus it is difficult to realize a large-scale development of the hydrogen energy industry in a short time. In this context, Xu Chuanbo, a master's supervisor from Beijing Key Laboratory of New Energy and Low-Carbon Development, School of Economics and Management, North China Electric Power University, and Fan Yongchun, a professor-level senior engineer and the Deputy General Manager of China Energy Engineering Group Guangdong Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd., are invited by Southern Energy Construction, a global gold open access academic journal, as Contributing Co-Chief Editors, jointly plan and preside over the Special Issue of "Hydrogen Energy Technology". Moreover, Feng Tiantian, the associate professor of China University of Geosciences(Beijing), and Ke Yiming, the associate professor of Jinan University, are invited as the Visiting Professors.
