| Abstract | A global awareness of the hydrogen economy to be a highly potential supplied system of a sustainable and secure energy by taking advantage over the fossil fuel economy, the global main supplied energy, on the environmental and economic benefits. Therefore it will be a great deal with Thailand energy security by a future appropriate initial plan of the hydrogen economy to reduce energy dependency .The research firstly examines the global current status of hydrogen technologies, possible paths forward and the issues associated with a transition toward large-scale use of hydrogen with the discussion of technical milestones, actions and possible policies requirement for the successful development of hydrogen energy systems. Subsequently, the research analyzes the energy situation in Thailand with the future potentiality of hydrogen economy in Thailand and then it investigates the feasible first phase plan of the transition to a hydrogen economy in Thailand with the alternative power development plant by implement of hydrogen fuel (PDP Hydrogen) proposed to increase the share of renewable fuel mix with the introduction of hydrogen fuel and implement the demand side management rather than nuclear power plant establishment and the expenditure of coal power plant since 2021 in PDP 2010 proposed by The Minister of Energy. Consequently, In summary, PDP Hydrogen take benefit over PDP 2010 resulting from less pollutant emission including GHG, S0₂, NOx, TSP and Hg emission, lower external cost and higher job creation |
