In a multidisciplinary field such as energy, Hydrogen and Fuel Cells stands out by covering the entire width of hydrogen production and usage technologies, giving detailed descriptions of not just one but the range of very different fuel cells that have been developed or are under development. In one volume, respected experts Bent Sorensen and Giuseppe Spazzafumo provide all the basic scientific theory underlying hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, but at the same time present applications and sustainable integration into society in a way accessible to a broad range of people working in this field, whether in technical, economic or management roles. The third edition reflects both recently emerged technologies and the market penetration of the most promising technologies, and it gives an appraisal of how far fuel cell technology may go in the future, considering current challenges and economic trends. This new edition has updated and expanded content on hydrogen storage and transmission, molten carbonate fuel cells, PEM fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells, biofuel cells, including microbial fuel cells, applications in transportation and power plants, future scenarios and life-cycle assessment. It is ideal for researchers and professionals in the field of energy, and renewable energy in particular, both in academia and industry. It is also useful to lecturers and graduate students in engineering, physics, and environmental sciences, as well as professionals involved in energy or environmental regulation and policy.

Giuseppe Spazzafumo is associate professor at University of Cassino and Southern Lazio (Italy) and CEO at EnTraT srls. Author of more than 100 scientific papers mainly focused on hydrogen energy systems, fuel cell systems, and power to gas, Dr. Spazzafumo is also editor or co-author of four books. He has been invited as a plenary speaker to several international conferences and was a member of scientific committees at many international conferences. He was the scientific coordinator of some research activities financed by ENEA, ENEL, APAT, Italian Ministry of Research and obtained 4 Italian patents. He is a member of the Board of Directors and the Executive Vice President for Conferences of the International Association for hydrogen Energy.

Sorensen, Bent
Bent Sørensen is professor emeritus in physics at Roskilde University, Denmark). He has held academic positions at University of California in Berkeley, Yale University, The National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden (US), Kyoto University (Japan), University of Grenoble (France) and University of New South Wales (Australia) and served as advisor for the OECD, the Japanese and Australian governments, and various UN agencies, including as lead author the IPCC working group on climate change mitigation. He has published nearly 1000 scientific articles and many books, including two volumes on hydrogen and fuel cells. He served as chairman of the Danish Energy Agency's Solar Energy and Hydrogen Energy Committees, and received prizes such as the Australian-European Award for Eminent Scholars (1982) and the European Solar Prize (2002).
