摘　　要：Numerous decision-makers in politics,science,and business worldwide have acknowledged that hydrogen H_(2) will become one of the most important energy sources of the 21st century if the desired energy transition to carbon-free energy sources is to be taken seriously.Nevertheless,this transition in general and the introduction of H_(2) in particular is still progressing far too slowly.There are now countless projects worldwide,including several worth billions of US dollars,but we are still waiting for the breakthrough.There seem to be various reasons for this,not just one single or most important one.Purpose:In the overall context of global earth overheating(often downplayed as“climate change”),hydrogen H_(2) will undoubtedly play a decisive role as of now.The paper aims to identify the key challenges and propose solutions for establishing a sustainable value chain for market penetration of H_(2).Design/methodology/approach:This paper aims to shed light on the current situation using freely accessible publications from global management consultancies and the German government,as well as critical reporting.The problem of human behavior is also explained by the Novak Triangle.Findings:Most people have come to understand that anthropogenic global overheating can only be solved by new technologies(which cost money,time,and behavioral change)in production and application.Hydrogen H_(2) appears to be an essential part of the desired solution.Nevertheless,there are currently still numerous challenges and also concrete concerns worldwide,which partially cast the implementation in a questionable light.The findings suggest that establishing a demand and supply of H_(2) needs a comprehensive infrastructure,circular economy principles,and changes in consumer behavior and policy frameworks.The paper proposes solutions for addressing these challenges.Affected countries:The situation described here relates to Germany and the EU countries,but it is likely to be comparable,or at least similar,for many industrialized countries.
