This book highlights physiological, physical, and chemical hazards associated with hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and use systems. It also examines potential accidental scenarios that hydrogen may yield under certain conditions. The authors highlight hydrogen storage facilities because of the greater hazards encountered in them due to the increased quantities stored and handled, and on hazards resulting from the use of hydrogen as a fuel for transport. Computer simulations with the aid of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of both gaseous and liquefied hydrogen are verified by experiments.

The book highlights the interplay among water, food, energy, and the future of sustainability. It discusses challenges in efficient water and energy production and management, wastewater treatment, and impact upon food and essential commodities. It includes a case study evaluating sustainability of process, supply chain, and enterprise.

This text describes water¿s use in the production of raw fuels, as an energy carrier (e.g., hot water and steam), and as a reactant, reaction medium, and catalyst for the conversion of raw fuels to synthetic fuels. It explains how supercritical water is used to convert fossil- and bio-based feedstock to synthetic fuels in the presence and absence of a catalyst. It also explores water as a direct source of energy and fuel, such as hydrogen from water dissociation, methane from water-based clathrate molecules, and more.
