Glossary of the Petroleum Industry: English/Spanish and Spanish/English » (Bilingual)

Written in fairly plain language, this book explains the potential of a future hydrogen economy, the forces driving a global transition toward hydrogen, and the barriers that could disrupt such a transition. The author describes hydrogen's properties and the different types of fuel cells, and identifies some of the companies that are developing and demonstrating hydrogen technologies, often with government funding. Finally, production methods, storage technologies, safety risks, the problems of hydrogen transport, and the costs of building a fueling station infrastructure are explored.
