Hydrogen Commonly Applicable to Medicine to Agriculture: From Molecular Mechanisms to the Field

Abstract:: The emerging field of hydrogen biology has to date mainly been applied in medicine. However, hydrogen biology can also enable positive outcomes in agriculture. Agriculture faces significant challenges resulting from a growing population, climate change, natural disasters, environment pollution, and food safety issues. In fact, hydrogen agriculture is a practical application of hydrogen biology, which may assist in addressing many of these challenges. It has been demonstrated that hydrogen gas (H2) may enhance plant tolerance towards abiotic and biotic stresses, regulate plant growth and development, increase nutritional values, prolong the shelf life, and decrease the nitrite accumulation during the storage of vegetables, as well as increase the resilience of livestock to pathogens. Our field trials show that H2 may have a promising potential to increase yield and improve the quality of agricultural products. This review aims to elucidate mechanisms for a novel agricultural application of H2 in China. Future development of hydrogen agriculture is proposed as well. Obviously, hydrogen agriculture belongs to low carbon economy, and has great potential to provide “safe, tasty, healthy, and highyield” agricultural products so that it may improve the sustainability of agriculture.

Abstract Hydrogen gas (H2) produced by water splitting using renewable energy, namely green hydrogen, is the most promising energy carrier of the low-carbon economy1–6. However, the geographic mismatch between renewables distribution and freshwater availability poses a significant challenge to green hydrogen production7–9. Here, we demonstrate a method of directly producing H2 from the air, namely, capturing freshwater from the atmosphere using hygroscopic electrolyte and converting it to H2 by electrolysis powered by solar energy. A prototype H2 generator has been successfully established and operated for 12 consecutive days with a stable performance at an average Faradaic efficiency around 95%. This so-called direct air electrolysis (DAE) module can work under low relative humidity (20%) environment, overcoming water supply issues and producing green hydrogen sustainably with minimal impact to the environment. The DAE modules can be easily scaled to provide H2 to remote, arid/semi-arid, and scattered areas.

Under the background of global climate warming, the low carbon economy has become the focus of international attention. Some developed countries construct the low carbon trade barriers and implement trade protection on the grounds of environmental protection. This makes the cost of China’s agricultural products export increased, the scale of China’s agricultural products export reduced and the exertion of the traditional comparative advantage of China’s agricultural products inhibited, but at the same time promotes the development of China’s low carbon agriculture. The paper puts forward some countermeasures to cope with the low carbon trade barriers from the point of view of government and enterprises.

Carbon Economy

Affected by global warming, the development of low-carbon economy in recent years has received widespread attention. In terms of trade, it is mainly manifested in carbon taxation and carbon labeling. The development of low-carbon economy will inevitably have an impact on the export of agricultural products. Taking Anhui Province, a large agricultural province in China, as an example, this paper analyzed the export competitiveness of agricultural products in Anhui by using the trade competitiveness index. The study found that agricultural export companies in Anhui had problems such as single export structure and low added value, vicious competition among export companies, and imperfect financial support systems. In order to enhance the competitiveness of agricultural exports in Anhui, the paper put forward countermeasures and suggestions in the end, such as optimizing the export structure, increasing investment in science and technology, establishing an alliance of agricultural export enterprises and increasing financial support.
