Advances in Hydrogen Energy

<p>This book which is a reprint of articles published in the Special Issue Advances in</p><p>Hydrogen Energy in Energies seeks to contribute to disseminating the most recent</p><p>advancements in the field of hydrogen energy. It does so by presenting scientific works</p><p>from around the world covering both modeling and experimental analysis. The focus is</p><p>placed on research covering all aspects of the hydrogen energy from production to</p><p>storage and final use including the development of other easy to transport and versatile</p><p>hydrogen-based energy carriers via the power-to-x (PtX) route such as ammonia and</p><p>methanol.</p><p>Hydrogen energy research and development has attracted growing attention as one of</p><p>the key solutions for clean future energy systems. In order to reduce greenhouse gas</p><p>emissions governments across the world are developing ambitious policies to support</p><p>hydrogen technology and an increasing level of funding has been allocated for projects</p><p>of research development and demonstration of these technologies. At the same time</p><p>the private sector is capitalizing on the opportunity with larger investments in hydrogen</p><p>technology solutions.</p><p>While intense research activities have been dedicated to this field several issues require</p><p>further research prior to achieving full commercialization of hydrogen technology</p><p>solutions. This book addresses some of these issues by presenting detailed models to</p><p>optimize design strategies and operating conditions for the entire hydrogen value chain</p><p>covering production via electrolysis storage and use in different types of fuel cells and in</p><p>different forms of energy carriers.</p>
