Preface

The purpose of this monograph is to answer questions related to the substitution of fossil fuels in vehicles, home, or industry using hydrogen for either direct use or as an energy carrier in the generation of electricity. It is projected that mobility via electrical means will increase during the next 50 years and will become a significant component of the energy portfolio. A factor in achieving this is the utilization of hydrogen as stored energy, which is appealing because it further addresses greenhouse gas emissions, leads to lower environmental pollution, and will further reduce the dependency on oil from foreign governments. Although there are a number of reviews, special journal issues, and books on hydrogen, none dea
