Hydrogen has wide applications across many industries, including petroleum refineries, hydrotreating processes, and metallurgy applications. In addition, a number of valuable chemicals, such as ammonia, alcohols, and acids, are manufactured directly or indirectly with hydrogen. Hydrogen Applications and Technologies covers the utilization of hydrogen in petrochemical products, vehicles, and power generation systems, as well as in refinery hydrotreating, metallurgy, welding, annealing, and the heat-treating of metals.

• Describes the application of hydrogen in producing valuable chemicals in detail
• Comprehensively discusses hydrogen utilization as an energy source
• Covers the application of hydrogen in power generation systems and across various industries
• Reviews hydrogen's role as an agent in chemical reactions

Part of the multivolume Handbook of Hydrogen Production and Applications, this stand-alone book guides researchers and academics in chemical, environmental, energy, and related areas of engineering interested in development and implementation of hydrogen production technologies.

About the Author

Mohammad Reza Rahimpour is a Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering at Shiraz University, Iran. He earned a PhD in chemical engineering at Shiraz University, in collaboration with the University of Sydney, Australia, in 1988. He leads a pioneering research group specializing in fuel processing technology, with a particular focus on the catalytic conversion of both fossil fuels, such as natural gas, and renewable fuels, like bio-oils derived from lignin, into valuable energy sources. Throughout his academic career, Dr. Rahimpour has specialized in hydrogen production technologies, including steam methane reforming, water electrolysis, photocatalytic hydrogen production, and hydrogen production from both renewable sources and fossil fuels. His extensive expertise and innovative research significantly contribute to advancements in hydrogen production and its practical applications.
