About 200 years ago, hydrogen was used as a fuel in the first generation of internal combustion engines, but when it was soon abandoned by mainstream fuels due to unsatisfactory safety and energy density, it may not have expected a day of pride.
The energy revolution began to take shape as early as after World War II. At that time, global energy consumption was increasing day by day. According to public information, from the beginning of the 20th century to the end of the 20th century, the annual energy consumption soared from 2 billion tons of standard coal to 10 billion tons. It has increased by a factor of five, by an annual growth rate of about 2.5%.
There is no doubt that the exploration and explosion of new energy is the inevitable result of the consumption of traditional energy, especially after the 1970s, there have been several oil crises around the world, which once caused the price of crude oil to rise by four in four decades. More than ten times, the world economy is inseparable from the impetus of energy behind the take-off, so the development of new energy is imminent.
Looking back at the previous stage of history, the investment of various countries in the field of new energy has gradually grown into a large scale. In 1951, the world's first successful use of nuclear power generation was successful. In 1979, the United States established a wind turbine. In 1992, after nuclear power and wind power , The solar panel system has also been successfully realized... The energy change is more high-profile every time.
In the 21st century, the energy crisis has intensified. In 2012, world energy statistics showed that fossil fuels still accounted for the bulk of the energy supply, accounting for about 87%, of which oil accounted for 33.6%, coal accounted for 29.6%, and natural gas accounted for 23%. .8%. That is to say, the new energy is only 13%, of which nuclear energy accounts for 5.2%, hydropower accounts for 6.5%, and solar energy system, wind energy, and geothermal energy account for only 1.3%.
On the one hand, it is the high energy consumption, and on the other hand, the development of new energy is unbalanced. There is a huge space for energy exploration in the early stage, and the gap that needs to be filled will pave the way for the rise of new energy in the future. In recent years, new energy has gradually become popular in China, and solar system, lithium batteries, and hydrogen energy have successively entered the market with a halo.
According to data, the demand for hydrogen energy is expected to be 10 times higher by 2025. At the same time, in 2030, the number of vehicles using hydrogen energy fuel cells will reach 10 million to 15 million, and the total market value can reach the trillion level. From the demand side, at least the current signs are pushing hydrogen energy to an ideal state.
After the start of 2022, the rising tide of battery prices has no intention of stopping. Instead, it has aroused the outside world's infinite reverie about hydrogen energy vehicles. So will energy vehicles.
