Hydrogen energy has the advantages of high calorific value, no pollution, and high conversion rate, and is a direction with great development potential in the future energy field. Under the strategic background of the "dual carbon" policy, my country is also vigorously promoting the layout of the hydrogen energy industry. Especially in the field of transportation, new energy vehicles that use hydrogen fuel cells instead of traditional internal combustion engines are gradually gaining popularity in the consumer market. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles mainly use high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinders to store gaseous hydrogen and transport it to the fuel cell to react with air to generate electricity to drive the vehicle. The reaction product is only water, which will not pollute the environment and cause additional carbon emissions. With the support of national policies, hydrogen fuel cell vehicle-related technologies and industries will continue to develop rapidly and bring greater benefits to my country's economic development and environmental protection.
