Next-Generation Hydrogen Economy
Production, Storage, and Fuel Cell Technologies
About this book
Provides a comprehensive guide to hydrogen technologies for sustainable energy production and practical deployment
With the growing urgency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, decarbonize heavy industries, and diversify energy sources, hydrogen stands out as a versatile, clean energy carrier. Next-Generation Hydrogen Economy: Production, Storage, and Fuel Cell Technologies serves as an interdisciplinary roadmap for understanding and leveraging hydrogen's vast potential. This timely volume meets the pressing need for a unified, research-informed resource that integrates hydrogen science, engineering, and policy—addressing both theoretical foundations and real-world implementation.
Written by experts in material science and energy research, Next-Generation Hydrogen Economy thoroughly examines hydrogen's role in modern and future energy systems. The authors explore advanced production methods such as electrolysis, photocatalysis, and biological synthesis, while also detailing innovative storage technologies including metal hydrides, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs). Practical chapters on hydrogen fuel cells highlight applications in transportation, grid storage, and heavy industry, with in-depth discussions on commercialization, economic feasibility, infrastructure challenges, and safety standards. Bridging research and practice, the book also delves into AI-driven catalyst development, smart hydrogen cities, and other emerging areas in the fields.
Equipping readers with the knowledge to drive innovation and make informed decisions in the rapidly evolving hydrogen economy, Next-Generation Hydrogen Economy:
- Integrates multidisciplinary insights from material science, electrochemistry, energy systems, and public policy
- Highlights novel hydrogen production techniques including photocatalysis and biological routes
- Analyzes the techno-economic challenges and opportunities of industrial-scale hydrogen deployment
- Features clear diagrams and process flowcharts to illustrate complex technical concepts and up-to-date case studies and global policy frameworks to contextualize hydrogen adoption
- Discusses safety standards, regulatory compliance, and risk mitigation strategies for hydrogen technologies
Emphasizing cross-sectoral integration of hydrogen, Next-Generation Hydrogen Economy: Production, Storage, and Fuel Cell Technologies is ideal for graduate and postgraduate students in courses such as Renewable Energy Systems, Energy Materials, and Sustainable Engineering within physics, chemistry, and energy engineering programs. It also serves as a valuable reference for professionals in electrochemistry, clean energy R&D, and energy policy analysis.
