Clean Energy carriers: Hydrogen fuel & Biofuel; An Era of Zero Emission Fuel, Volume 01

One of the main problems facing our planetary bodies is unexpected and sudden climate change due to continuously increasing global energy demand, which currently is being met by fossil fuels. Hydrogen and Biofuels, one of the major energy solutions and alternatives to fossil fuels to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions in the twenty-first century. Being, zero-emission fuel, it could reduce environmental impacts and craft novel energy opportunities. Hydrogen is found in natural biomass, which includes plants and animals. For this reason, it is considered as an energy carrier and not as an energy source. It was recognized as “an essential element of sustainable energy system” to provide safe, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly energy. Bio-fuels another energy carrier, are gaining worldwide attention as an alternative fuel option replacing the usage of the mineral diesel derived from conventional fossil sources.

The purpose of this book is to reflect the current state, related issues, and projection of hydrogen and biofuel elements within the conceptual framework of future sustainable energy vision including discussion on the main challenges and future perspectives for clean energy production technologies. The presented book is an attempt to consolidate the related information at one place that would help the scientific as well as non-scientific community to get glimpse of the hydrogen and fuel cell technology. Book will help researchers in providing opening doors for a scope for further research in this area as literatures have reported biochemical route suffers from specific gaps in the research.
