Production of Hydrogen from Renewable Resources

The book provides state-of-the-art reviews, current research and prospects of producing by bio, thermal and electrochemical methods and covers separation, storage and applications. Hydrogen from biomass is a clean and renewable energy source that is a promising energy carrier which will supplement or replace fossil fuels in the future. This book is a reference designed for researchers, academicians and industrialists in the area of hydrogen production and biomass conversion etc. Readers will find the wealth of information contained in chapters both useful and essential, for assessing hydrogen production by bioelectrochemical, electrochemical, fermentation, gasification, pyrolysis and solar techniques applied to many forms of biomass.
