Abstract

Energy is a driving force for technical progress. The current fossil based energy economy will come to its limits within the next couple of decades demanding a turn into renewable energies. While the technical potential of renewable energies is large, matching of fluctuating supply and demand in time and space is most likely a more serious challenge than the further development of renewable energy harvesting technologies. Hydrogen can be considered as a viable option for energy storage to supplement traditional technologies such as pumped hydro, compressed air storage or secondary batteries. Hydrogen can be generated from a variety of fossil and renewable sources thus providing the opportunity for a smooth transition from an energy economy based on the consumption of fossil fuels into a sustainable energy economy based on renewables. In this chapter, technologies for hydrogen production and storage are presented and the perspectives of hydrogen as a secondary energy carrier are described.
