Memorandum on a novel IAHE conception of a hydrogen civilisation of the future: historical aspects and the new challenges of the present day

Abstract

The transition to a hydrogen economy and then to a hydrogen civilisation will be a historic epoch-making transformation. Because such a transformation is on a global scale, one cannot be serene in principle. The whole history of engineering proves this. Along the way, we will come across global achievements and stoppages and maybe even step back. The most important task of the humankind elite is to carefully observe and prevent negative technical and social tendencies of a different nature, but act in a manner similar to the ‘Hindenburg syndrome’.
