Hydrogen and Fuel Cells

The "Who's Who" of hydrogen energy from industry, academia and government agencies explore evolving technologies for a clean, safe and economically viable alternative to non-renewable energy for a sustainable future, presenting the latest hydrogen energy science and technology. Hydrogen energy is a hot topic in the goal to develop a greener and more efficient power technology. With water as its only by-product and its availability in all parts of the world, hydrogen promises to be the next great fuel source, but its production, storage and infrastructure remains a challenge. While car manufacturers have released hydrogen-powered vehicles, their commercialization is still in its infancy, due to the lack of an infrastructure to transport hydrogen safely and efficiently to a mass market. Authored by 40 of the most prominent and renowned international scientists from academia, industry, institutions and government, this handbook explores mature, evolving technologies for a clean, economically viable alternative to non-renewable energy. In so doing, it also covers such broader topics as the environmental impact, education and regulatory developments.
