Hydrogen is a key vector towards a future sector-coupled and more integrated energy system. Hydrogen can be used as long term, even seasonal, storage for electricity itself, as well as a fuel in the transport and residential sectors, and as a feedstock for the chemical industries.

There are several competing, or complementary, technologies for generating hydrogen from various sources, and then to store it, to transport it, and to use it in various sectors. This book offers an overview of the currently available technologies, taking into account their principles, advantages and shortcomings, and so enabling readers to make informed choices on the best options for given conditions.

Chapters cover hydrogen characteristics, production of hydrogen, storage and distribution, and hydrogen energy utilisation and applications in different sectors. The work conveys the entire chain of energy use of hydrogen, from production to final use. Chemistry and materials science are covered, along with efficiency considerations.

Hydrogen Technologies for Energy presents a concise but thorough overview for researchers in universities and in industry who are involved in hydrogen technology and energy-related topics. The book is also a useful resource for graduate students interested in a future in this field of research and development.
