متن کاملIntroduction: energy for a sustainable future.
I published a paper in Science (King 2004) a couple of years ago in which I said that 'climate change was the biggest challenge facing us this century, bigger even than the threat of global terrorism'. An outcome of all of this was the decision by the Prime Minister that, during the UK's presidency of the G8, we would place climate change at the top of the agenda, alongside Africa. These two ar...
متن کاملHydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies for Sustainable Future
This paper discusses some crucial energetic, environmental and sustainability issues and the role of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies as one of the potential solutions to these issues. The commercialization plans in various industrialized countries (USA, Canada, Japan, etc.) for these technologies have started by identifying the most likely early markets for hydrogen as an energy carrier and...
