The hydrogen car has been proposed as the solution to our oil problems, but how would it work, and what potential problems associated with it? This book addresses these questions and provides specifics about current developments toward a hydrogen-based energy infrastructure. It offers the reader an informed look at the current state of fuel cell power and transportation technology, and where it's headed.

Examining trends for the future, Megatrends for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy explores energy technologies and fuels and discusses their prospects in a world with greenhouse gas restrictions. It looks at the technical and economic tradeoffs of traditional renewables such as wind and solar, as well as large scale PV and

Revised and updated, Alternative Fuels addresses many of the factors affecting our energy use, including the availability and desirability of various fuelsΓÇöespecially the use of hydrogen. This new edition covers new hydrogen developments in technology, oil supplies and new drilling techniques, latest information on hydrogen highway projects, breakthroughs in fuel cell technology and ultra low emissions in transportation, the latest statistics on emerging oil markets, energy reserves, and carbon dioxide increases. Also included is material on energy policy, fuel supply trends, alternative scenarios, energy utilization, sustainable energy, cost analysis, fuel escalation, energy and development, regulatory issues, barriers to implementation, conversion systems, storage systems, thermodynamic efficiency, fuel chain efficiency, life-cycle efficiency, technology issues extracting, refining, air emission issues, safety, natural gas hydrogen gas, methanol, ethanol, steam reforming and fuel cells.

Offers information on emergency and backup power sources, as we deal with an aging power distribution system that often fails to provide reliable power. This book contains topics that include power disturbances and interruptions, spikes and noise, sags and surges, surge suppression, voltages regulation, load management, and power quality issues.
