⚡ History of Hydrogen Energy: From Discovery to Ecological Transition
Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant chemical element in the universe. Its energy potential is immense, but its history in the world of energy began long before its use in the ecological transition was envisaged.
It was in 1766 that British physicist Henry Cavendish first isolated hydrogen. He called it “flammable air”, observing that it produces water when burned. This property would later become fundamental to hydrogen’s energy applications.
In 1839, Welsh scientist William Grove designed the first fuel cell, a device capable of producing electricity from hydrogen and oxygen. Although this technology remained experimental for a long time, it is the origin of the modern systems used today in transport and energy infrastructures.
During the 20th century, hydrogen was mainly used in heavy industry: ammonia production (for fertilizers), petroleum refining and methanol production. Its use was technical, and limited to specialized processes.
One of its first large-scale uses was in the space industry. NASA began using liquid hydrogen as a rocket fuel in the 1950s. It was chosen for its very high energy density and its ability to produce only water vapor as a waste product.
The 1973 oil crisis sparked renewed interest in alternatives to fossil fuels. Hydrogen emerged as a potential solution, but it was expensive to produce and complex to store.
It wasn’t until the beginning of the 21st century, with the rise of climate concerns and the expansion of renewable energies, that hydrogen came back into the spotlight. This isgreen hydrogen, produced by electrolysis of water using solar or wind-generated electricity.
Unlike “grey” hydrogen (derived from natural gas, a high CO₂ emitter), green hydrogen emits no polluting emissions. It is becoming a pillar of energy strategies aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050.
Today, hydrogen is booming. It is used to decarbonize heavy industry, power fuel cell vehicles (buses, trucks, trains), and as an energy storage solution to smooth out the intermittency of renewable energies.
Thanks to technological innovations and the growing commitment of governments, hydrogen is now a key energy vector in the fight against climate change and for energy sovereignty.
