Download The Hydrogen Economy by Ball M., Wietschel M. (eds.) PDF

By Ball M., Wietschel M. (eds.)

Responding to the sustained curiosity in and debatable dialogue of the customers of hydrogen, this booklet strives to mirror significantly at the views of a hydrogen economic system in mild of the worldwide power problem, particularly the query the way to meet the growing to be call for for delivery power within the long-term and the way to safe sustainable power for transportation. This booklet sticks out from different guides by way of its emphasis on surroundings the scene for hydrogen and the great insurance of all features relating to the hydrogen topic, that's technical, environmental and socio-economic, and with a world geographic scope. the purpose is to supply a reference publication and compendium approximately hydrogen that are supposed to be of curiosity to an individual who desires to atone for the prestige of the hydrogen dialogue, search for a selected point on the topic of hydrogen, or know the way hydrogen comes off in comparison to different mobility strategies. The booklet may still entice a pretty vast readership: academia, coverage makers and undefined.

Ball and M. Wietschel Renewables are often seen as the future feedstock for hydrogen, if hydrogen is to make a real contribution to energy security and CO2-emission reduction. However, ‘cheap’ renewable potentials are also limited and will be increasingly in competition with heat and electricity generation. An overview of the renewable potentials worldwide and with a particular focus on the situation in the European Union is at the centre of Chapter 5. There is an urgent need for deploying carbon-dioxide capture and storage (CCS).

A 2  C maximum increase is also the EU climate target (EC, 2007a). 3). 5  C Lower uncertainty in costs. Can be translated relatively easily into emission profiles (reducing uncertainty in costs). Emissions mitigation Concentrations of different greenhouse gases Radiative forcing Source: (IPCC, 2007c). Impacts Global mean temperature Lowest uncertainty in costs. Mitigation costs Direct link to objective of climate polices. Easy translation to emission targets, thus not including climate sensitivity in cost calculations.

12 M. Ball expand their economies and energy is not expected to be further decarbonised (see Chapter 3). , China and India, will become much more carbon intensive (see Fig. 1). It appears that rising carbon intensities accompany the early stages of the industrialisation process, which is closely linked to accelerated electricity generation, based mainly on fossil fuels (primarily coal). In addition, the emerging but rapidly growing transport sector is fuelled by oil, which further contributes to increasing carbon intensities.
