Conclusion: a conditional outcome; References; Index 520 $aThe next several years will see a massive emergence of hydrogen fuel cells as an alterative energy option in both transportation and domestic use. The long-range expectation is that hydrogen will be used as a fuel, produced either from renewable energy, fossil, or nuclear sources, offering an environmentally acceptable and efficient source of power/energy. Hydrogen and Fuel Cells describes in detail the techniques associated with all the production and conversion steps and the set-up of systems at a level suited for both academic and professional use. The book not only describes the "how" and "where" aspects hydrogen fuels cells may be used, but also the obstacles and benefits of its use, as well as the social implications (both economically and environmental). Thoroughly illustrated and cross-referenced, this is the ultimate reference for researchers, professionals and students in the field of renewable energy. * Written by a world-renowned leader in the study of renewable energy. * Thoroughly illustrated with cross-references for easy use and reference. * Written at a level suited for both academic and professional use 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on July 25, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions 650 0$aHydrogen as fuel 650 0$aFuel cells 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 776 1 $cOriginal$z0126552819$z9780126552812$w(DLC) 2005275773$w(OCoLC)57719054 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780126552812$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 856 42$zPublisher description$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0626/2005275773-d.html 856 41$zTable of contents$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0626/2005275773-t.html 907 $a.b13653088$b03-03-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003235759707536 996 $aHydrogen and fuel cells$91212871 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale026$b24-01-08$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gne $h0$i0
