Preface

Hydrogen has the potential to provide a clean and affordable energy supply that minimizes the dependence on oil, thereby enhancing the global economy and reducing environmental pollution. When used with traditional catalyst technology, onboard hydrogen production using hydrocarbons as starting materials is limited by the heavy weight of the device, a relatively long transient time and fouling, which increases the complexity of the onboard vehicle system. In situ hydrogen production from liquid feedstock using plasma or plasma–catalytic technology is an attractive alternative. In this book, hydrogen production from renewable resources such as ethanol by plasma or plasma–catalytic technologies is reviewed. These technologies have low NOx emissions and low carbon footprints. Both the plasma and the plasma–c
