| Review: | Hydrogen fuel cells are already being tested and used commercially in micropower plants. In the ultimate vision of a hydrogen economy we might be able to fill up our car from a hydrogen dispenser at home, or plug it into our electrical system to generate power for sale to a utility. Eventually everyone could be connected to an energy Internet or hydrogen energy web, and the whole system could be managed by a virtual utility. In this book Rebecca Busby looks at how all this might be achievable. She explains why hydrogen has emerged as an essential area for research and technology development and examines how market forces, as well as technical and economic barriers, could derail a transition towards hydrogen energy systems. She covers both the history of hydrogen and the current and future applications for hydrogen fuel cells, as well as methods of producing, transporting and storing hydrogen. |
