Note publique d'information : Science and Engineering of Hydrogen-Based Energy Technologies explores the generation
of energy using hydrogen and hydrogen-rich fuels in fuel cells from the perspective
of its integration into renewable energy systems using the most sound and current
scientific knowledge. The book first examines the evolution of energy utilization
and the role expected to be played by hydrogen energy technologies in the world’s
energy mix, not just for energy generation, but also for carbon capture, storage and
utilization. It provides a general overview of the most common and promising types
of fuel cells, such as PEMFCs, SOFCs and direct alcohol fuel cells. The co-production
of chemical and electrolysis cells, as well as the available and future materials
for fuel cells production are discussed. It then delves into the production of hydrogen
from biomass, including waste materials, and from excess electricity produced by other
renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro and geothermal. The main technological
approaches to hydrogen storage are presented, along with several possible hydrogen
energy engineering applications. Science and Engineering of Hydrogen-Based Energy
Technologies’s unique approach to hydrogen energy systems makes it useful for energy
engineering researchers, professionals and graduate students in this field. Policy
makers, energy planning and management professionals, and energy analysts can also
benefit from the comprehensive overview that it provides
