Springer Proceedings in Physics: Hydrogen: Path to a Carbon-Free Future

Abdul Jalil, Aishah; Md. Kasmani, Rafiziana; Rasit Ali, Roshafima

This book presents peer-reviewed articles from the 9th International Conference on Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Technology (ICFCHT 2025) held on 10–11September at Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, with the theme—“Hydrogen: Path to a Carbon-Free Future: This book provides a comprehensive overview of key innovations driving the global transition to low-carbon energy. This book serves as a timely resource for professionals, researchers, and policymakers engaged in decarbonization and energy transformation. The book addresses the urgent need to replace fossil-based systems with clean, scalable, and integrated solutions. It explores cutting-edge developments in solar photovoltaics, wind power, and bioenergy, alongside emerging hybrid systems and energy storage strategies that enhance reliability and resilience. In the hydrogen domain, it covers the full value chain from green hydrogen production through water electrolysis and photocatalysis, to hydrogen storage, transport, and end-use in industry and mobility. 

Beyond technical performance, the book integrates environmental and economic dimensions, offering lifecycle assessments, circular economy strategies, and techno-economic analyses. It discusses recycling of critical materials, end-of-life management, and design for sustainability, aligning with global efforts to reduce carbon footprints and resource dependency. The final section explores enabling factors such as policy frameworks, digital technologies (e.g., AI and smart grids), risk assessment, and energy access in remote areas. Collectively, these chapters emphasize system-level thinking and cross-sector integration, bridging the gap between innovation and implementation.

This book sets out to solve the challenge of fragmented energy research by providing a unified, interdisciplinary reference. It equips readers with the tools and insights needed to contribute meaningfully to the clean energy transition, making it especially relevant in the context of climate targets, green industrialization, and sustainable development goals.
