Renewable hydrogen produced using solar energy to split water is
the energy fuel of the future. Accelerated innovation in both major
domains of solar energy (photovoltaics and concentrated solar
power) has resulted in the rapid fall of the solar electricity
price, opening the route to a number of practical applications
using solar H2. New thermochemical water splitting using
concentrated solar power (CSP) as well as CSP coupled to
electrolysis has the potential to convert and store solar energy
into clean hydrogen using a tiny fraction of the world's desert
area to meet our present and future global energy needs.
Photovoltaics, in turn, has the versatility required for supporting
the creation of a distributed energy generation infrastructure in
developing countries especially now that the price of PV solar
electricity has fallen to unprecedented low levels. In all these
cases, solar H2 will be used to store energy and release it on
demand either for fuel cells (to power homes and boats) or internal
combustion engines and turbines (for powering cars, trucks and in
thermoelectric power units). This book on solar hydrogen is unique
in its field and is a timely treatment of a hot topic in industry,
academic, political and environmental circles. With reference to
many examples as well as to new technologies, this accessible book
provides insight into a crucial technology for our common future
and numerous colour pictures contribute to the book's readability.
Written by experts in the field who are engaged at the forefront of
research, the book supplies readers with last minute insight from
the frontiers of research. The book will be of interest to
Politicians, solar PV companies, hydrogen and sustainability
researchers, environmentalists, managers in the automotive and
nautical industries, undergraduate and graduate students in
physics, chemistry, energy and materials science.
