As the world accelerates towards a renewable energy transition, the
demand for critical raw materials (CRMs) for energy generation,
conversion, and storage technologies is seeing a drastic increase.
Such materials are not only subject to limited supply and extreme
price volatility but can also represent serious burdens to the
environment, to human health, and also to socio-political systems.
Taking an interdisciplinary perspective, this book provides a novel
perspective on the discussion about material dependencies of energy
technologies. It examines CRMs use in fuel cells, an emerging
energy conversion technology, and discusses governance strategies
for early-stage fuel cell development to predict and avoid
potential issues. This will be an invaluable resource for
researchers in energy studies, engineering, sociology and political
science as well as those with a general interest in this field
looking for an accessible overview.

This book focuses on the fundamental principles and latest research
findings in hydrogen energy fields including: hydrogen production,
hydrogen storage, fuel cells, hydrogen safety, economics, and the
impact on society. Further, the book introduces the latest
development trends in practical applications, especially in
commercial household fuel cells and commercial fuel cell vehicles
in Japan. This book not only helps readers to further their basic
knowledge, but also presents the state of the art of
hydrogen-energy-related research and development. This work serves
as an excellent reference for beginners such as graduate students,
as well as a handbook and systematic summary of entire
hydrogen-energy systems for scientists and engineers.
