Sommario/riassunto

Pendant la guerre de Sécession, le port de New York a atteint son apogée relatif dans le commerce extérieur américain. Cependant la fin de ces conditions exceptionnelles ne marque pas le retour au statu quo car, désormais, jusqu’à la fin du XIXe siècle, le roi-coton doit partager sa couronne avec les céréales. Si New York maintient son hégémonie aux importations, il voit sa suprématie contestée aux exportations, principalement de grains, par ses riveaux les plus proches, Boston, Philadelphie et Baltimore. L’objet de cet ouvrage est l’analyse de la rivalité entre ports pour la domination du commerce des États-Unis, à un moment où ce pays devient le grenier de l’Europe industrielle. Une fois établis les faits, est proposée une gamme d’interprétations, qui s’appuient sur des modèles partiels ou sur les arguments avancés par les contemporains, afin de jeter quelques lumières sur la hiérarchie des



causes.

Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a detailed description of hydrogen production through water electrolysis. It starts with the theoretical description of the chemical, thermodynamic, and kinetic issues related to the electrolysis of water. The main available technologies and the ones under development are detailed from a technical and a scientific point of view. At the end of the book Dr. Cavaliere describes the main hydrogen applications and their contribution to the grand energy transition that is expected by the middle of the century. The book also examines the economic issues related to the transition toward the hydrogen society. Describes hydrogen production from renewable sources and its storage and transportation in a very efficient way; Discusses scaling of technologies up to gigawatt range; Details the limitations to be solved for the total introduction of hydrogen in the future society. .
