Towards Hydrogen Infrastructure: Advances and Challenges in Preparing for the Hydrogen Economy lays out the fundamental needs and processes of a potential hydrogen-based economy.

This book begins by outlining the processes, theory, and technology underlying hydrogen energy, from production to storage and dissemination. Each chapter outlines the potential and the hurdles for developing each element toward a workable hydrogen infrastructure. The later parts consider the social, and environmental issues surrounding the hydrogen economy, and suggest updated governmental policies.

Presenting the needs of hydrogen energy infrastructure from development to practical implementation,
