Energy is one of the most important issues for humankind. Increasing energy demand, regional limitations and serious environmental effects of conventional energy sources have brought about the need for new, clean and sustainable energy. This book series has been planned as a presentation of the basics in the areas of renewable energy and storage as well as the cutting-edge new technologies for these applications. Hydrogen Production Technologies is the first volume of the series due to the undeniable importance of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier. Hydrogen has been gaining more attention in both transportation and stationary power applications.
Fuel cell-powered cars are on the roads and the automotive industry is demanding feasible and efficient technologies to produce hydrogen. There are various ways to produce hydrogen in a safe and cost-effective manner. This volume covers the new technologies used to obtain hydrogen more
efficiently via catalytic, electrochemical, bio- and photohydrogen production and as such is a valuable component in the research area of hydrogen production. The principles and methods described herein lead to reasonable mitigation of the great majority of problems associated with hydrogen production technologies. The book is edited to be useful as a text for university students at both introductory and advanced graduate levels and as a reference text for researchers in universities and industry. The chapters are written by distinguished authors who have extensive experience in their fields. Besides researchers in the engineering area, those in the energy, materials science and chemical engineering fields have been focusing on new materials and production technologies in order to generate hydrogen in an efficient and cost-effective way. Hence a multidisciplinary approach is taken to covering the topics of this book. Readers will absolutely have
a chance to compare the fundamental production techniques and learnabout the pros and cons of these technologies.
