Description:There are many technical challenges to making the hydrogen economy into a reality. Materials for the Hydrogen Economy provides an in-depth understanding of these challenges. Covering all seven of the current hydrogen production methods, this book describes the materials used in the production, distribution, storage, and utilization of hydrogen for transportation and energy production. It discusses hydrogen's effects on pipeline steels and workable rail and truck methods. It presents both on and off-board hydrogen storage methods and examines various potential energy uses. This text also explains the individual materials, methods, and sensors used for separating, sealing, and purifying hydrogen.
