Prof. Kui Jiao, Executive Director and Chair Professor at the National Industry-Education Platform for Energy Storage at Tianjin University, spoke to CGTN Europe at the International Green Energy Conference (IGEC). He emphasized that hydrogen and AI technologies are key drivers of the global energy transition towards cleaner alternatives. AI can significantly optimize energy materials development, for example in fuel cell research, and improve the efficiency of renewable energy systems. While cost remains a major barrier to the large-scale commercialization of fuel cell technology, China is making significant progress in energy storage, including hydrogen storage. Ultimately, the market will decide which energy solutions prevail, but hydrogen is expected to play a major role in the future of clean energy.
