Hydrogen Fuel and Fuel Cells for Sustainable and Environmentally-Friendly Power Generation

Recent developments in hydrogen production from renewable energies and fuel cell (FC) technologies have increased interest in their application toward sustainable and emission-free electricity generation. In addition to the fuel-to-electricity conversion advantages of FCs over conventional generation methods, their heat exhaust can also be recovered for combined heat and power (CHP) operations to improve their overall system efficiency. Furthermore, exciting achievements have been made in fuel-cell-powered passenger vehicles, heavy-duty trucks, and off-road vehicles. This presentation will cover hydrogen production from renewable energies, the use of hydrogen fuel for FC-based electricity production, and for transport technologies.
