Is clean hydrogen truly transformative for decarbonisation, or simply the latest energy hype? This book offers a clear, evidence-based examination of hydrogen's real role in the global drive for decarbonisation. It begins by explaining why hydrogen matters for climate policy and where electrification alone falls short. The early chapters assess hydrogen production technologies and costs, separating realistic pathways from overly optimistic assumptions. The book then explores policy design, investment incentives, and the regulation of transport, trade, and storage infrastructure. Later chapters analyse hydrogen's potential across key sectors, including power generation, transport, steel, cement, chemicals, and high-temperature industrial processes. The concluding section brings these insights together, highlighting trade-offs, system integration challenges, and lessons for policymakers.
Written for policymakers, industry leaders, investors, and researchers, this book shows why clean hydrogen is important for a credible, cost-effective energy transition, even if it will not become the "next oil".

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
