Advances in Hydrogen Energy / Edition 1

by Catherine E. Grégoire Padró, Francis Lau

Overview

In the future, our energy systems will need to be renewable and sustainable, efficient and cost-effective, convenient and safe. Hydrogen has been proposed as the perfect fuel for this future energy system. The availability of a reliable and cost-effective supply, safe and efficient storage, and convenient end use of hydrogen will be essential for a transition to a Hydrogen Economy. Research is being conducted throughout the world for the development of safe, cost-effective hydrogen production, storage, and end-use technologies that support and foster this transition. This book is a collection of important research and analysis papers on hydrogen production, storage, and end-use technologies that were presented at the American Chemical Society National Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, in August 1999.

Editorial Reviews

A collection of research and analysis papers on hydrogen production, storage, and end use technologies originally presented at an August 1999 national meeting of the American Chemical Society, held in New Orleans, Louisiana. Reports on hydrogen production technologies that reduce or eliminate CO2 emissions from the production process, the effect of hydrogen on metals, development of hydrogen sensors for use in vehicles and buildings, and the development of membrane separation technologies that reduce the amount of energy required to produce high-purity hydrogen.
