Green Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology: Powering a Sustainable Future

Green Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology: Powering a Sustainable Future provides a comprehensive overview of sustainable energy systems, covering the fundamental science, engineering, policy, and economic aspects. The book explores hydrogen properties, various production methods--including water electrolysis, biomass gasification, and photobiological techniques--and highlights advanced electrolyzer technologies such as AEM and SOECs. The publication also delves into catalyst innovations for solar-to-hydrogen conversion and examines multiple storage options like solid-state, liquid organic carriers, ammonia, and cryogenic systems. It emphasizes infrastructure development, with a focus on hydrogen hubs, pipelines, and port facilities, particularly in the context of India's initiatives.

Sections analyze different fuel cell types and their operational principles, design considerations, and emerging materials like self-healing components. Applications extend beyond transportation to backup power, marine, aviation, and distributed generation. Recent innovations and future trends are highlighted, including next-generation electrolyzers, modular systems, integrated infrastructure, and advanced storage solutions, supported by case studies and environmental assessments.
