Hydrogen has been recently attracted much attention again as a clean and reriewable energy under the rapidly progressing an environmental destruc-tion which is caused by global warming, acid rain and so on. International Project between European Communities and Canada has been started, which is comprehen-sive project including R&D of hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and utilization.The feasible study for clean energy transportation from foreign country has been also started in Japan.
This paper presents current state of the research and technology for hydrogen use as fuel, particularly for hydrogen-powered vehicle and the power generation system operated by hydrogen-air and hydrogen-oxygen combustion, and also refers to the key technologies for these utilization.
