Synopses & Reviews
In the near future the world will need to convert to a suitable, clean energy supply: one that will meet the demands of an increasing population while giving few environmental problems. One such possible supply is hydrogen. Hydrogen Energy System describes the present status of hydrogen as an energy supply, as well as its prospect in the years to come. It covers the transition to hydrogen-based, sustainable energy systems, the technology of hydrogen production, its storage and transport, and current and future hydrogen utilisation. Economic analyses of the hydrogen energy system, together with case studies, are also presented.
Book News Annotation:
Twenty papers from the two-week course cover the production of
hydrogen, storage and transmission, applications, case studies of
hydrogen energy systems, and the role of renewable hydrogen in the
global energy, environmental, and economic systems. An introduction
also traces the 20 years of the movement for hydrogen energy. The
specific topics include electrochemical and photoelectrochemical
production, biophotolysis and algal culture technology,
hydrogen-metal systems, and fuel cells and vehicles based on them.
The case studies are from a Euro-Quebec project and California.
