Government agencies and leaders in industry recognize the need to utilize hydrogen as an energy source in order to provide cleaner, more efficient, and more reliable energy for the world's economies. This book analyzes this need and presents the most up-to-date government, industry, and academic information analyzing the use of hydrogen energy as an alternative fuel. With contributions from policy makers and researchers in the government, corporate, academic and public interest sectors, The Hydrogen Energy Transition brings together the viewpoints of professionals involved in all aspects of the hydrogen-concerned community. The text addresses key questions regarding the feasibility of transition to hydrogen fuel as a means of satisfying the world's rapidly growing energy needs. The initiatives set forth in this text will mold the research, development and education efforts for hydrogen that will assist in the rapidly growing transportation needs for automobiles and other vehicles. * Presentations by the world's leaders in government, industry and academia * Real-world solutions for the world's current fuel crisis. * Endorsed by the University of California Transportation Center and Transportation Research Board Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Hydrogen is made from natural gas. Hello?Another drawback to hydrogen is that fuel cell engines are even more complicated and less developed than internal combustion engines- you would be right back in the same boat- beholden to dealer service and having expensive maintenance bills. But it's even worse than that- we would have to build a completely new infrastructure to deal with it, AND although the end result of using hydrogen is 0 pollution, current technology uses natural gas to make it(a fossil fuel). So what is the point? ... Read More Rating: - These "Experts" are confused"Government agencies and leaders in industry recognize the need to utilize hydrogen as an energy source..." This is from people who are supposed to know what they are talking about? Hydrogen is not an energy source at all. It takes energy to make hydrogen, much more than what you can ever get back with a fuel cell. Hydrogen is an energy carrier, and a very inefficient one at that. Fail. Do not waste your money. Rating:  - Have We Passed Go in Hydrogen Energy for Transport?The book is a collection of papers from the 2003 IX th Biennial Asilomer Conference, (plus two papers added after) on transportation and energy. It represents the very leading edge of debate and discussion on the petroleum-hydrogen transition and is, in my view, essential and useful reading, and a milestone reference work on the current `state of play'. By having contributions from a diverse range of sectors, the collection has a unique combination of those `for' and those `not-necessarily-against' ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
