This book, Hydrogen Technologies - Recent Advances, New Perspectives, and Applications, explores the various aspects of hydrogen technology, including generation, transportation, and storage. The book compiles research conducted by experts from around the world, contributing to the body of knowledge in hydrogen technology for future applications. Edited by Dr. Zak Abdallah and Dr. Nada Aldoumani, both of whom are well-published in peer-reviewed journals, conferences, and scientific books, the book introduces key technologies and addresses various challenges and potential solutions. Over the years, numerous models have been developed to predict the performance of materials in hydrogen-induced environments. While some models have proven accurate, others have failed to predict process performance. The reliability of any predictive tool hinges on the use of parameters that meaningfully replicate real-life conditions. This principle is demonstrated throughout the book with research findings derived from experimental work in the field.
