| dc.description | Air pollution remains a critical global environmental challenge, exerting significant adverse effects on ecosystems, human health, biological organisms, and material infrastructure (World Health Organization [WHO], 2020; Silva et al., 2013). It constitutes a pervasive public health crisis, particularly within industrialized and developing nations (WHO, 2020). Emissions originating from industrial operations and transportation networks are primary contributors to the deterioration of urban air quality worldwide. Despite the implementation of strategic environmental policies, comprehensive air quality monitoring initiatives, and robust assessment frameworks, global mitigation efforts against air pollution have demonstrated limited effectiveness. This inadequacy is substantially attributable to inconsistent enforcement of environmental regulations, exacerbated by the increasing impacts of climate change, anomalous meteorological patterns, ongoing environmental degradation, and disruptions to ecological homeostasis (IPCC, 2014; Shaltami et al., 2020). | |
| dc.description.abstract | The escalating global environmental crisis, largely driven by fossil fuel dependency, underscores the urgent need for sustainable alternatives. Hydrogen has emerged as a key candidate for achieving deep decarbonization in industrial and transportation sectors. This study systematically reviews 60 peer-reviewed publications from 2010–2024 to assess hydrogen’s environmental, technical, and socio-economic implications. The findings indicate that hydrogen, particularly when produced via renewable electrolysis, offers substantial emission reductions and strong synergy with fuel cell technologies, though infrastructure costs and storage challenges remain critical barriers. The paper concludes that a structured hydrogen economy could significantly enhance global sustainability, provided that supportive policies and investment frameworks are established. | |
