Abstract Hydrogen fuel has emerged as a promising element in the quest for sustainable energy solutions across diverse sectors. This abstract distils the findings and insights from extensive research into hydrogen fuel integration, focusing on its applications in the automotive industry, residential power generation, and portable devices.

In the automotive sector, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) offer a zero-emission alternative with extended driving ranges and rapid refuelling times, addressing some of the limitations of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). However, the successful integration of hydrogen as a transportation fuel hinges on the development of a robust refuelling infrastructure, cost reductions in fuel cell technology, and the optimization of energy-intensive hydrogen production processes.

In residential power generation, hydrogen shows promise as a versatile energy carrier, capable of powering homes through fuel cells or combined heat and power (CHP) systems. To ensure sustainable residential hydrogen power, research efforts should continue to focus on efficient hydrogen production methods, such as advanced electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources.

Furthermore, the integration of hydrogen in portable devices, including backup power systems and mobile electronics, is being explored. Overcoming challenges related to safe hydrogen storage, efficient energy conversion, and addressing energy density limitations are critical for expanding the utility of hydrogen in this domain.

To drive further advancements, key research directions include the development of lightweight and high-capacity hydrogen storage materials, improvements in energy conversion efficiency, and enhanced safety measures for hydrogen-powered portable devices.

Moreover, cross-sector collaboration between automotive, residential, and portable device applications is vital to optimize hydrogen production and utilization. Regulatory support and incentives play a pivotal role in promoting the adoption of hydrogen technologies, along with comprehensive life-cycle assessments to quantify their environmental impact.
