We consider actual problems of production, transportation, and storage of hydrogen and demonstrate the urgency and prospects of subsequent investigations and introduction of hydrogen-based technologies in powder metallurgy. We present predictions of an international organization according to which commercial mass production of hydrogen is expected in the nearest future. This will make hydrogen less costly and more available for the extensive applications in various branches of science and industry. It is indicated that hydrogen is not only a promising alternative energy carrier but also an efficient reducer for numerous metals and alloys and an element applied in various technologies of powder metallurgy aimed at getting broad ranges of high-quality products. It is assumed that hydrogen can find extensive applications in industry in the future.

我们考虑氢的生产、运输和储存的实际问题，并展示了后续研究和引入粉末冶金氢基技术的紧迫性和前景。我们提出了一个国际组织的预测，根据该预测，预计在不久的将来会进行商业化大规模生产氢气。这将使氢气成本更低，更可用于科学和工业各个分支的广泛应用。表明氢不仅是一种很有前景的替代能源载体，而且还是多种金属和合金的高效还原剂，是一种应用于各种粉末冶金技术的元素，旨在获得广泛的高质量产品。假设氢在未来可以在工业中找到广泛的应用。
