Hydrogen energy can be used in many fields, so many companies and countries are focusing on hydrogen. 

Hydrogen energy has many advantages. Hydrogen has a low possibility of depletion since it is contained in water. Water is abundant in the sea. In 1 kg of seawater, there is 108 kg of hydrogen. Also, it does no emit environmental contaminants that cause global warming. That is why this energy is called eco-friendly energy. The storage of hydrogen is easy in the condition of liquid or solid. Having nominal losses when transporting is beneficial at long-distance distribution.
