Hydrogen Production, Transportation, Storage, and Utilization: Theoretical and Practical Aspects (Original PDF from Publisher)

By Sohrab Zendehboudi, Bahram Ghorbani

Hydrogen Production, Transportation, Storage, and Utilization: Theoretical and Practical Aspects is a comprehensive introduction to the theoretical and practical aspects of hydrogen as an energy vector. This book presents upstream, midstream, and downstream aspects and, at each stage, explains the concepts, methods, applications, and economics to provide a broad understanding of hydrogen energy.This book explains each of the key aspects of hydrogen energy in dedicated chapters, guiding readers through the fundamentals of hydrogen as an energy vector to economic, safety, and environmental considerations. Chapter 1 explores energy storage technologies, highlighting hydrogen’s role as a clean, versatile energy carrier alongside electrochemical batteries and thermal energy storage. Chapter 2 analyzes the methods for hydrogen production and provides a review of the fundamental, technological, and environmental aspects of these methods. Chapters 3 and 4 examine the physical, chemical, and material methods for hydrogen storage, explaining the underlying theory, concepts, and mechanisms, and critically analyzing the challenges and opportunities. Chapter 5 explores the downstream aspects of hydrogen in transportation, power generation, energy supply in industry, and as a feedstock in refineries and the chemical industry. Chapter 6 builds on the previous chapters to provide a roadmap to the utilization of hydrogen energy, such as site evaluation and monitoring, and is supported by two case studies for hydrogen production and its storage by physical and chemical methods. Finally, Chapter 7 addresses the economic, safety, and environmental aspects of hydrogen supply chain alongside a well-to-wheel analysis.This book offers readers an invaluable introduction to the theoretical and practical aspects of hydrogen energy for students, researchers, and professional engineers and will be of interest to anyone seeking a broad introduction to the topic of hydrogen energy.
