INTRODUCTION
Energy security is crucial to ensure sustainable development in a country. Climate change, globalisation and the unpredictable future of fossil fuels have posed a grand challenge to the world in search of solutions. Solutions to energy sustainability, energy efficiency, and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions are among the keys to unlock the door to a low- carbon society for sustainable living. Among the many candidates answering the call to address these challenges, hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are enablers for transitioning to a clean and low-carbon energy system. With the advantage of hydrogen being an energy carrier with high calorific value, these technologies are believed to be a game-changer in the future sustainable energy mix, contributing to transportation, power plant, and residential sectors. Over the decades, intensive efforts on research and development have been made to make these technologies more affordable and reliable, and they have led to promising outcomes. More industrial players are investing in these future technologies, indicating a worldwide growth of interest. Hydrogen society has also been aggressively promoted in several countries such as Japan and China to help mitigate environmental issues and promote a circular economy to ensure sustainable living.
The Symposium of Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Technology 2021 (SFCHT2021) is now calling for academicians, researchers, scientists, practitioners, and students to gather and share new ideas in related fields, thus strengthening the network between the stakeholders in this niche area. The symposium will also bring together representatives of industry players from
the national and international levels to speak. Through this event, it is hoped that the hydrogen and fuel cell technologies community will grow more vital to better human life.
