" The
industrial and energy sectors are experiencing an important transition phase from
fossil and renewable resources, with the aim to shift from a linear to a circular
economy of production processes.
In this context, hydrogen is universally considered as one of the most interesting
energy carriers.
It can be produced sustainably from water and used either as a direct energy source,
or in mixture with other fuels, or as an important raw material in the chemical
industry. Despite the great potential of hydrogen, it still presents numerous
application problems that must be resolved before its large-scale use. Hydrogen
produced from renewable materials is not yet cost competitive compared to its
production from natural gas. Furthermore, it is necessary to evaluate application
aspects related to safety, the compatibility of materials, its distribution and
the optimization of traditional or innovative unit operations that involve its
use such as fuel cells, electrocompressors, transportation, power to gas systems
and others.
This Special Issue of Chemical Engineering Transactions covers the current progress
and innovations on all the hydrogen-based technologies for its production, storage
and uses. "
