Handbook of Hydrogen Energy is intended to be a reliable resource to a wealth of information on hydrogen energy that can inspire readers by detailing emerging and established possibilities of hydrogen energy and its engineering applications. This comprehensive reference presents not only the basics of hydrogen energy but also explores recent experimental results used in hydrogen energy research. Each peer-reviewed chapter of this book discusses fundamental aspects and current issues of hydrogen energy, as well as a total process of how it is produced, how can it be stored in long period, ways to move hydrogen from production sites to end users, various areas of use, how safe it is, and how are we deal the hydrogen economy in our life. All students, professionals and practicers in hydrogen energy, eco-friendly energy, energy engineering, and  hydrogen car manufacture industry will find this essential reference book highly useful.​

Prof Hasuck Kim is currently the Chair Professor of Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) since 2010 and Professor Emeritus of Seoul National University (SNU) where he had retired after 33.5 years of service in 2010.

He, then, was appointed as an Assistant Professor in 1977 at SNU where he was promoted to a full Professor in 1987. He spent a year at the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, California Institute of Technology as a visiting associate in 1988. He was the Dean of College of Natural Sciences, SNU from 2002 to 2004. He served as the Vice-President and Dean of Graduate School of SNU from 2008 to August 2010. He was the President of the Korean Electrochemical Society from 2000 for two years, President of ISE from January 2013 till the end of 2014. He is a visiting professor of Yamanashi University, Japan since 2010.

Dr. John W. Sheffield, joined Purdue University in January 2015.  He holds the title of Professor Emeritus of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Missouri University of Science and Technology. Dr. Sheffield has a broad base of experience in energy technologies.  He has served as one of the founding associate directors at the United Nations Industrial Development Organization - International Centre for Hydrogen Energy Technologies (UNIDO-ICHET) during their first two years of operation in 2005-2006. He also served as the Associate Director of the National University Transportation Center at Missouri S&T. For more than forty years, he has served as an editor of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy.  In August 2014, he completed a two-year assignment as a principal consultant at DNV GL - Energy supporting the evaluation, measurement and verification of energy efficiency programs and the response to the U.S. DOE Uniform Methods Project Protocol review of compressed air systems. In August 2015, he completed a 7-week National Science Foundation Innovation Corps program as an industrial mentor for a potential startup company based on the manufacturing of bio-inspired bipolar plates for PEM fuel cells. On 1 March 2019, he became the President of the International Association for Hydrogen Energy, having previously served as the Executive Vice President. He has also served as a part-time Professor at Xi’an Jiaotong University in Xi'an, China working in the summers with the School of Energy and Power Engineering on hydrogen energy technologies from 2019-2021 and teaching in the annual International Summer School offered by the State Key Laboratory of Multiphase Flow in Power Engineering.
