With contributions from noted laboratory scientists, professors, and engineers, Hydrogen Energy and Vehicle Systems presents a new comprehensive approach for applying hydrogen-based technologies to the transportation and electric power generation sectors. It shows how these technologies can improve the efficiency and reliability of energy and transportation systems.

The book's interdisciplinary approach to sustainable energy systems disproves common misconceptions regarding hydrogen technologies and demonstrates that hydrogen technologies are a viable part of a sustainable, stable, and secure energy infrastructure. The book discusses intelligent energy management schemes for hydrogen energy and vehicle systems, safety and environmental science related to hydrogen technologies, and the infrastructure required for safe, renewable hydrogen options.

A clear and up-to-date resource on hydrogen systems, this work provides a balanced presentation of theoretical/technical and application aspects of hydrogen technologies. It presents all stakeholder perspectives and connects hydrogen technology through proper systems analysis and integration, covering both quantitative and qualitative factors.

Reviews

While the debate between enthusiasts and detractors influences the level of interest by governments and the public, thankfully there are engineers and scientists in academia and industry that continue researching, developing, and applying hydrogen technologies toward ever more practical solutions. This book provides insights from many of those scientists and engineers on a broad array of issues, challenges, and accomplishments of hydrogen technology over the past years leading to the present.
-From the Foreword by William R. Taylor

"A comprehensive overview of fuel cell and hydrogen technology for vehicles, something much needed and hopefully well-received in the academic world."
-Jennifer Gangi, Fuel Cells 2000, Washington, DC, USA

"... a concise discussion on the topic of integrating our electricity and transportation networks."
