A review of hydrogen as a transformative technology for Malaysia's industrial and research sectors.

Abstract

Hydrogen is becoming more popular with the current worldwide paradigm shift in energy. According to recent worldwide economic and political initiatives, renewable energy and carbon neutrality by 2030 are becoming increasingly popular. Future renewable energy grids may benefit from green hydrogen's flexibility and buffer for intermittent renewable power output. Fuel cells or power systems can store hydrogen and use it to generate electricity, heat, or both. In this case, understanding the possible advantages of hydrogen is critical. The field is disruptive because of its high percentage of originality (81 percent). As seen by the increasing diversity of products, the innovation cycle has only begun. Research done recently has voiced worry over the long-term prospects and possibilities of conventional energy sources, while also studying the environmental sustainability of alternative sources of power and green economic systems. Manufacturing in Malaysia has the necessary infrastructure to take advantage of the economic benefits of fuel cells, as evidenced by the establishment of the country's first hydrogen fuel cell developer. This paper explores the most recent information regarding the hydrogen economy (including its key benefits and drawbacks) and the potential effects of hydrogen on Malaysian industries (transport, industry, and power production). The report examined the IP market, which they estimated to be valued at $131.58 billion, for more perspective. Installation of hydrogen fuel cells in Malaysia faces various hurdles, such as the need for pilot projects, government policy changes, and infrastructure creation.
