This timely book explores the role of hydrogen in the global decarbonisation effort, evaluating its promise as a clean energy carrier and its alignment with the global green transition efforts. Featuring key players, emerging technologies and the economic implications of hydrogen, it provides a comprehensive analysis of international efforts to shape a low-carbon future.
Sinan Küfeoğlu sheds light on the opportunities and complexities of the hydrogen economy, from the challenges of hydrogen production, transportation and storage, to the dynamics of policy support and regulatory frameworks. Highlighting traditional and innovative applications of hydrogen, chapters illustrate its potential to revolutionise energy-intensive industries including cement, steel and petroleum. Küfeoğlu critically assesses the viability of diverse hydrogen business models, ultimately emphasising the urgent need for innovative strategies and clean energy technologies to combat climate change.
Presenting valuable data and discussions on hydrogen technologies, market dynamics and future developments, this book is an essential read for students and scholars of economics, energy, innovation and infrastructure, and sustainable development. It will also benefit policymakers, government officials, energy sector professionals and business leaders looking to drive the transition to a greener world.

‘This is a “must-read” book. Any researcher, industry professional, policymaker, or student aiming to understand the key challenges of the next 25 years should start here. What is Net Zero? How can we make sense of it? What steps should we take to move forward? While this book is not a step-by-step guide to solving every question, it provides a strong foundation for examining the issue in all its crucial dimensions.’

‘This book systematically sorts out key issues such as the development background of hydrogen energy, industrial chain characteristics, market, infrastructure and regulatory policies. By drawing cutting-edge experiences in the development of hydrogen around the world, the book provides systematic and multidisciplinary knowledge support for policymakers, industrial investors and scientific researchers, thereby supporting the sustainable development of human society with a cleaner, cheaper and safer energy system. It also presents numerous viable business cases from around the world where hydrogen can be deployed commercially. This is especially valuable when we think of the doubts about whether the hydrogen economy is economically viable.’
