In Exploring the Hydrogen Economy, readers are guided through a comprehensive exploration of the hydrogen economy's role in mitigating global carbon emissions and advancing sustainable energy solutions. This book provides an indispensable roadmap for understanding the urgency of decarbonisation, the challenges of greenhouse gas emissions in energy-intensive industries, and the transformative potential of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier. With thorough analysis on the infrastructure, policy, and market dynamics shaping the hydrogen landscape, this book is a must-read for policymakers, industry leaders, and academics dedicated to advancing a low-carbon future. -- Seungwan Kim, Korea Institute of Energy Technology (KENTECH), South Korea This is a must-read book. Any researcher, industry professional, policymaker, or student aiming to understand the key challenges of the next 25 years should start here. What is Net Zero? How can we make sense of it? What steps should we take to move forward? While this book is not a step-by-step guide to solving every question, it provides a strong foundation for examining the issue in all its crucial dimensions. -- Yannick Perez, CentraleSupélec - University of Paris-Saclay, France This book systematically sorts out key issues such as the development background of hydrogen energy, industrial chain characteristics, market, infrastructure and regulatory policies. By drawing cutting-edge experiences in the development of hydrogen around the world, the book provides systematic and multidisciplinary knowledge support for policymakers, industrial investors and scientific researchers, thereby supporting the sustainable development of human society with a cleaner, cheaper and safer energy system. It also presents numerous viable business cases from around the world where hydrogen can be deployed commercially. This is especially valuable when we think of the doubts about whether the hydrogen economy is economically viable. -- From the Foreword by Hao Chen, School of Applied Economics, Renmin University of China
