在1920～1930年期间,有人对氢气作为活塞式内燃机的燃料作过初步有目的的尝试。当时进行的实验没有成功,主要是因为当时的科学和技术水平无法解决一系列与工作过程的组织,以及与氢气有效和安全贮存有关的重大问题。从七十年代初开始,当能源生态局势急剧尖锐时,几乎所有工业发达国家都广泛开展寻找能取代汽油和柴油的载能体的研究。 Between 1920 and 1930 hydrogen was first and foremost used as a fuel for piston internal combustion engines. The experiments conducted at that time were unsuccessful mainly because the then state of science and technology were unable to solve a series of major issues related to the organization of work processes and to the effective and safe storage of hydrogen. Since the early 1970s, when the energy and ecological environment was sharp, almost all industrialized countries carried out extensive research to find energy carriers capable of replacing gasoline and diesel.
