Why is hydrogen so important, you ask? It's a rare gas, after all. Since the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted several areas, hydrogen has fallen into the limelight. Read up on the functions of hydrogen in Towards Green Hydrogen Generation. A variety of issues and multidisciplinary approaches are presented about green hydrogen and related sectors. The book describes a gradual shift in hydrogen production technologies from non-renewable to renewable. As a result, despite the uncertainty created by the pandemic, efforts to build a more sustainable environment have gained momentum.
This volume covers hydrogen issues by presenting the relationships and opportunities in these related sectors. Organized into three parts, Towards Green Hydrogen Generation introduces and discusses crucial topics on hydrogen. Part 1 is dedicated to the current state and challenges encountered in the industrialization of green hydrogen production. Part 2 recognizes carbon-capturing and hydrogen-related learning models. The last entry introduces green hydrogen generation, PEM water electrolysis, and other electrolyzers.
Readers will find a multidisciplinary approach elucidating all the important features of green hydrogen so that science researchers and energy engineers as well as those in economics, political science and international relations, will also find value.
Energy sources and generation is the foremost concern of all governments, NGOs, and activist groups. With Green New Deals and reduced or net zero emission goals being implemented on a global scale, the quest for economic, scalable, efficient, and sustainable energy systems has reached a fever pitch. No one energy source ticks all the boxes and new energy technologies are being developed all the time as potential disruptors. Enter green hydrogen with zero emissions. Hydrogen is a rare gas in nature and is often found together with natural gas. While hydrogen is the most abundant element in the known universe, molecular hydrogen is very rare in nature and needs to be produced-and produced in large quantities, if we are serious about the Green Deal.
This book has been organized into three parts to introduce and discuss these crucial topics. Part I discusses the Green Deal and the current state and challenges encountered in the industrialization of green hydrogen production, as well as related politics. Chapters in this section include how to decarbonize the energy industry with green hydrogen, and one that describes a gradual shift in the approach of hydrogen production technologies from non-renewable to renewable. Part II is devoted to carbon capturing and hydrogen. Chapters on biomass mass waste-to-hydrogen conversion and related efficient and sustainable hydrogen storage pathways, life cycle assessment for eco-design of biohydrogen factory by microalgae, and metal oxide-based carbon capture technologies are all addressed in this section. The third and final part of the book was designed to present all features of green hydrogen generation. Chapters include PEM water electrolysis and other electrolyzers, wind-driven hydrogen production, and bifunctional electrocatalysts-driven hybrid water splitting, are introduced and thoroughly discussed.
Audience
This book is directed to researchers and industry professionals in energy engineering, chemistry, physics, materials science, and chemical engineering, as well as energy policymakers, energy economists, and others in the social sciences.
