Hydrogen electrical vehicles (HEVs) play a pivotal role in the implementation of the "Green New Deal," a comprehensive strategy aimed at addressing climate change and promoting sustainable development. This book delves into the latest cutting-edge technologies designed for fuel-cell-powered cars, highlighting their significance in achieving the goals set forth in the Paris Agreement.

To mitigate the impacts of global warming and minimize carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the establishment of a hydrogen ecosystem is crucial. This entails reconstructing sectors involved in energy production, distribution, and storage, thereby reducing the carbon footprint. A new geopolitical order is emerging, where the focus is on sustainable energy solutions. In this context, a comprehensive economic order is being established with new tax regulations that prioritize the tracking and reduction of carbon footprints.

The "Green Deal" represents a global initiative aimed at achieving net-zero CO2 emissions. Recognizing that transportation accounts for approximately 24% of CO2 emissions, efforts to reduce emissions must include the integration of hydrogen in transport. This book encompasses a wide range of subjects, providing an in-depth exploration of hydrogen and electrical vehicles, hydrogen storage and compression systems, hydrogen propulsion systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), test and evaluation of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, hydrogen production and proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells for electrical vehicles, and the power and durability issues associated with fuel cell vehicles.

The target audience for this book extends beyond the realm of chemistry, physics, materials science, engineering, and mechanical and chemical engineering. It also appeals to professionals and students enrolled in energy-focused engineering and hydrogen generation industry programs, who can benefit from a comprehensive review of the latest developments in hydrogen electrical vehicles. By leveraging this resource, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the technological advancements, challenges, and opportunities associated with hydrogen-powered transportation, contributing to the global efforts towards a sustainable and environmentally friendly future.
