Abstract
The first right of a reader is to learn what a book is all about. Therefore, let it be said that the term “hydrogen economy” refers to an energy system in which all energy sources are used to produce hydrogen (H2); this hydrogen is then collected, stored, and distributed as a completely pollution-free, multipurpose fuel. In the case of a “solar-hydrogen economy,” at least some of the primary energy that produces this hydrogen comes from direct sunlight. This precise though nonspecific definition will be illustrated and discussed in great detail in the following chapters.
