A Textbook on Hydrogen Energy

Hydrogen is going to play a prominent role in our energy systems, highlighted by the global developments and interest of various stakeholders from industries, government and researchers. To make global missions, roadmaps, ambitions and targets achievable, there is a need for teaching and training enthusiasts who want to learn and study about Hydrogen energy value chain. This book covers all the different aspects of the Hydrogen energy value chain, including production, storage, transportation, safety and utilization. It includes the methods of Hydrogen production from fossil fuels and renewables, its separation and purification; Hydrogen storage in the compressed, liquid and solid state forms; transportation of Hydrogen using tube trailers, trucks, pipelines, ships, in the form of LOHC; Possible risks, hazards and ways to mitigate those and Hydrogen sensing are considered while discussing Hydrogen safety. Utilization of Hydrogen in various domestic and industrial sectors, Energy conversion devices including fuel cell and Hydrogen internal combustion engine, along with techno-economic comparisons of each of these technologies are also covered here. Solved problems are included at the end of each chapter to provide a better understanding of the concepts discussed.
This book will serve as a textbook for courses related to Hydrogen and Hydrogen dedicated specializations at different institutions. It can be a useful reference for all individuals who are keen and enthusiastic about learning the various aspects of Hydrogen.

Contributes to the Global interest towards the field of Hydrogen Energy Serves as a Reference book for existing MOOC/NPTEL course Includes topics in line with the credit course in the curriculum of various institutions across the globe
