The Hydrogen Economy: Opportunities and Challenges

In the light of ever-increasing global energy use, rising costs of energy services, concerns over energy supply security, climate change and local air pollution, this book centers around the question of how growing energy demand for transport can be met in the long term. Responding to sustained interest in and controversial discussion of the prospects of hydrogen, this book highlights the opportunities and the challenges of introducing hydrogen as alternative fuel in the transport sector from an economic, technical and environmental point of view, and with a global geographic scope.

Through its multi-disciplinary approach the book provides a broad range of researchers, decision makers and policy makers with a solid and wide-ranging knowledge base concerning the hydrogen economy.
