The depletion of fossil fuels and climate changes caused by greenhouse gases are boosting increasing research efforts to find out alternative energy sources and technologies. Among these, fuel cells are receiving much attention for their efficiency as well as the capability to use, besides hydrogen, a variety of renewable fuels such as alcohols and carbohydrates. Fuel cells of which there exist different types according to the electrolyte employed, working temperature and fuel, are electrochemical devices that directly convert the chemical energy stored in a fuel into electrical energy with...

This first book to focus on the topic serves as a basis for defining a roadmap for the role of catalysis in energy production. As such, this ready reference for researchers and engineers covers all the hot topics from a broad perspective -- fuel cells, hydrogen production and storage, methane storage and industrial catalysis.
With its analysis of new directions and opportunities in the area and its integration of industrial, governmental and academic points of view, this is a real must-have for everyone interested in -greener- energy production.
