• Sommario/riassunto: Felice E. Corcione's 'Green Mobility and the Environment: A Dialogue among Researchers' explores the relationship between mobility and environmental sustainability. The book addresses the impact of pollutants from transportation and presents innovative solutions, particularly focusing on hydrogen as a sustainable energy source. It outlines the potential of hydrogen in fuel cells and discusses its energy density and application versatility. The work emphasizes the importance of transitioning to renewable energy and a circular economy to mitigate environmental degradation. Corcione's narrative is both a scientific exploration and a call to action for adopting green mobility practices. Designed for researchers, policymakers, and environmentally conscious readers, the book aims to inspire efforts toward a sustainable future.
