Hydrogen and Fuel Cells

The next several years will see a massive emergence of hydrogen fuel cells as an alterative energy option in both transportation and domestic use. The long-range expectation is that hydrogen will be used as a fuel, produced either from renewable energy, fossil, or nuclear sources, offering an environmentally acceptable and efficient source of power/energy. This book describes the techniques associated with all the conversion and the set-up of systems in detail at a level suited for both academic and professional use. It not only describes the "how" and "where" aspects hydrogen fuels cells may be used, but also the obstacles and benefits and the social, economic and environmental implications of its use.
