讲座内容介绍：

Energy is the foundation and the measure of quality of life and the driver for human civilization, yet its use is a double edge sword, improving the quality of life on one hand and degrading the environment within which human civilization relies on – the global climate change threatens the very existence of human civilization, a worst impact arising from the use of energy and the associated emissions (harmful chemicals, thermal and global-warming greenhouse gases). In this talk, we will look back at the conceptualization, historical development over the past several thousands of years, and classification of energy; energy systems and their dynamics and evolution (energy transition) to the futuristic hydrogen-based diversified energy systems. The talk will also describe the various forms of hydrogen, from grey, blue to green hydrogen; the relation between the green hydrogen production and water supply, the energy-water-food nexus, and hydrogen status change from the secondary (energy carrier) to primary energy resources (the white hydrogen), as well as the use of hydrogen for its chemical and nuclear energy (fusion).
