A hydrogen economy, in which this one gas provides the source of all energy needs, is often touted as the long-term solution to the environmental and security problems associated with fossil fuels. However, before hydrogen can be used as fuel on a global scale we must establish cost effective means of producing, storing, and distributing the gas, develop cost efficient technologies for converting hydrogen to electricity (e.g. fuel cells), and creating the infrastructure to support all this. Sorensen is the only text available that provides up to date coverage of all these issues at a level…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
A hydrogen economy, in which this one gas provides the source of all energy needs, is often touted as the long-term solution to the environmental and security problems associated with fossil fuels. However, before hydrogen can be used as fuel on a global scale we must establish cost effective means of producing, storing, and distributing the gas, develop cost efficient technologies for converting hydrogen to electricity (e.g. fuel cells), and creating the infrastructure to support all this. Sorensen is the only text available that provides up to date coverage of all these issues at a level appropriate for the technical reader.

The book not only describes the "how" and "where" aspects of hydrogen fuels cells usage, but also the obstacles and benefits of its use, as well as the social implications (both economically and environmental). Written by a world-renowned researcher in energy systems, this thoroughly illustrated and cross-referenced book is an excellent reference for researchers, professionals and students in the field of renewable energy.
Autorenporträt
Bent Sørensen is professor emeritus in physics at Roskilde University, Denmark). He has held academic positions at University of California in Berkeley, Yale University, The National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden (US), Kyoto University (Japan), University of Grenoble (France) and University of New South Wales (Australia) and served as advisor for the OECD, the Japanese and Australian governments, and various UN agencies, including as lead author the IPCC working group on climate change mitigation. He has published nearly 1000 scientific articles and many books, including two volumes on hydrogen and fuel cells. He served as chairman of the Danish Energy Agency's Solar Energy and Hydrogen Energy Committees, and received prizes such as the Australian-European Award for Eminent Scholars (1982) and the European Solar Prize (2002).
