Within the context of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, the book brings together global expertise from academia and industry to accelerate the science, innovation, and practice of the hydrogen economy to address energy challenges and advance UN Sustainable Development Goals. The book highlights the change of paradigm in the global economy from carbon to hydrogen, disseminating knowledge to readers about climate change and providing a critical overview of hydrogen generation and its utilization in various sectors.
Each chapter provides a synopsis of the fundamental knowledge and recent developments to ensure readers of all experience levels and backgrounds benefit. Future perspectives and actionable next steps are presented alongside case studies from different region of the world that provide a roadmap to decarbonization and the energy transition.
- Offers a comprehensive overview with critical analysis of basic knowledge to the principles of hydrogen economy and its contribution in terms of net zero emission
- Provides new understanding about the opportunities to net zero emission by implementing the utilization of such substance and its potential contribution in term of profit (economy) and environment (net-zero emissions)
- Presents fundamental and applied knowledge regarding the basics of climate abatement technologies via hydrogen-based energy infrastructure conceptualization, design, implementation, and refinements, including multidisciplinary strategies and applications
