Accelerating the Transition to a Hydrogen Economy

Accelerating the Transition to a Hydrogen Economy provides a road map in the global economy from carbon to hydrogen. Within the context of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, the book brings together global expertise from academia and industry to accelerate the science, innovation, and practice of the hydrogen economy to address energy challenges and advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Divided into 5 parts, the book highlights the change of paradigm in the global economy from carbon to hydrogen, disseminating knowledge to readers about climate change and providing a critical overview of hydrogen generation and its utilization in various sectors. Each chapter provides a synopsis of the fundamental knowledge and recent developments to ensure readers of all experience levels and backgrounds benefit. Future perspectives and actionable next steps are presented alongside with case studies from different region of the world that provide a roadmap to decarbonisation and the energy transition. Written by an international list of experts from across the fields of academia, industry, and government, Accelerating the Transition to a Hydrogen Economy provides valuable perspectives for scientists, engineers, professionals, and policymakers from developing and developed economies on how to accelerate the transition to the hydrogen economy. Offers a comprehensive overview with critical analysis of basic knowledge to the principles of hydrogen economy and its contribution in terms of net zero emissionProvides new understanding about the opportunities to net zero emission by implementing the utilization of such substance and its potential contribution in term of profit (economy) and environment (net-zero emissions)Presents fundamental and applied knowledge regarding the basics of climate abatement technologies via hydrogen-based energy infrastructure conceptualization, design and implementation and refinements including multidisciplinary strategies and applications INDICE: Section I: A transition towards net zero emission in a hydrogen economy 1.
