Biohydrogen

For Future Engine Fuel Demands

Beschreibung

Biohydrogen: For Future Engine Fuel Demands covers the production, purification, storage, pipeline transport, usage, and safety of biohydrogen. Hydrogen promises to be the most significant fuel source of the future, due to its global availability and the fact that water is its only by-product. Biofuels such as bioethanol, biodiesel, bio-oil, and biohydrogen are produced using technologies for thermochemically and biologically converting biomass. Hydrogen fuel production technologies can make use of either non-renewable sources, or renewable sources such as wind, solar, and biorenewable resources.

Biohydrogen: For Future Engine Fuel Demands reviews all of the modern biomass-based transportation fuels, including bioethanol, biodiesel, biogas, biohydrogen, and fuel cells. The book also discusses issues of biohydrogen economy, policy and environmental impact. Biohydrogen looks set to be the fuel of choice in the future, replacing both fossil fuels and biorenewable liquid fuels.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "This book provides comprehensive discussions on the production storage, transportation usage, economy, policy, and environmental impacts of biohydrogen from biomass-based feed stocks. Demirbas (Sila Science and Energy, Turkey) has made a good attempt to address the needs of researchers, engineers, agriculturists, crop cultivators, policy makers, environmentalists, etc. ... used as a general reference source for non-engineering students. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates, two-year technical program students, and general readers." (A. C. Sheth, Choice, Vol. 47 (5), January, 2010)
