FROM HYDROGEN ECONOMY TO HYDROGEN CIVILIZATION

Abstract

For the first time ever, the main aspects of a move by humankind into the era of an ecologically clean hydrogen energy civilization are being considered. It has been shown that energy and environmental problems can be averted by changing our energy carrier from fossil fuels to the environmentally clean energy carrier, hydrogen. The biospheric and noospheric consequences of this transition have been analyzed. The steps to be taken for the move to such a future hydrogen civilization have been discussed.
