Sažetak
Energy carriers are a convenient form of stored energy. Electricity is one type of carrier that can be produced from various sources, transported over large distances, and distributed to the end user. Hydrogen is another type of energy carrier. If produced from clean sources, it constitutes a clean and versatile carrier. Liquid hydrogen is already used for space shuttles and rockets and is also proposed for the future hypersonic or supersonic space vehicles. However, at present there is increased interest from governments in the development of hydrogen as a fuel for other applications such as transportation and stationary power from off-peak storage. This chapter provides the information about hydrogen and the status of hydrogen technologies. The topics covered include hydrogen production, storage, distribution, conversion, and safety.
