In this paper, we introduce formic acid as one of the most promising liquid organic hydrogen carriers, which can provide a viable method for the safe hydrogen storage and transportation. Attractive feautures of formic acid as a hydrogen carrier are (i) hydrogen production at lower temperature (< 100 °C), (ii) CO-free, and (iii) high-pressure hydrogen supply as a chemical compressor. In addition, we describe the production of formic acid from CO2 and its technoeconomic analysis. The research project with regard to formic acid as a hydrogen carrier in Europe and the United States are introduced.
