Shpilrain – Introduction to Hydrogen Energy
The book *Introduction to Hydrogen Energy* by Shpilrain examines the range of issues encompassed by the concept of “hydrogen energy.” It describes the physicochemical properties of hydrogen as a highly versatile energy carrier. Traditional and promising methods of hydrogen production are outlined, along with the cycles and schematics of the corresponding systems. Issues regarding hydrogen storage and transport, as well as its use as an energy carrier and feedstock across various economic sectors, are addressed. A techno-economic analysis of various hydrogen-based energy systems is also provided.
This book *Introduction to Hydrogen Energy* by Shpilrain is intended for engineers working in the fields of energy and energy technology, as well as for graduate and undergraduate students specializing in energy-related disciplines.
The book *Introduction to Hydrogen Energy* by Shpilrain addresses a topic that has recently gained significant popularity and sparked interest within the broader scientific community. Several books covering various aspects of hydrogen energy have already been published abroad.
Despite the large number of research groups and individual specialists actively working in this field, a comprehensive book like this one—*Introduction to Hydrogen Energy* by Shpilrain—has not previously been available.
The authors have undertaken the task of filling this gap, while fully acknowledging that the book does not cover every single aspect of the subject. As thermophysicists, the authors have naturally focused on areas where they either conduct their own research or are qualified to evaluate the work of others.
In writing this book, the authors drew upon extensive original literature on the subject and materials from four international conferences on hydrogen energy. When evaluating various approaches and developments, the authors took into account materials from the Commission on Hydrogen Energy.
