The potential use of hydrogen as a clean and renewable fuelresource has generated significant attention in recent years,especially given the rapidly increasing demand for energy sourcesand the dwindling availability of fossil fuels. Hydrogen is an"ideal fuel" in several ways. Its only byproduct ofconsumption is water; it is the most abundant element in theuniverse; and it is available at low cost. Hydrogen generation ispossible via a number of possible chemical processes, to separatethe hydrogen from its bond with atoms such as carbon, nitrogen, andoxygen.
In this book, the authors provide the scientific foundations forestablished and innovative methods of hydrogen extraction; outlinesolutions for its storage; and illustrate its applications in thefields of petroleum, chemical, metallurgical, physics, andmanufacturing.
* Addresses the three fundamental aspects of hydrogen as a fuelresource: generation, storage, and utilization
* Provides theoretical basis for the chemical processes requiredfor hydrogen generation, including solar, photoelectrochemical,thermochemical, and fermentation methods
* Discusses storage of hydrogen based on metal hydrides,hydrocarbons, high pressure compression, and cryogenics
* Examines the applications of hydrogen utilization in the fieldsof petroleum, chemical, metallurgical, physics, andmanufacturing
* Contains over 90 figures, including 27 color figures
