Summary: Renewable hydrogen produced using solar energy to split water is the energy fuel of the future. Accelerated innovation in solar energy (photovoltaics and concentrated solar power) has resulted in the rapid fall of the solar electricity price. New thermochemical water splitting using concentrated solar power (CSP) as well as CSP coupled to electrolysis has the potential to convert and store solar energy into clean hydrogen using a tiny fraction of the world's desert area to meet our present and future global energy needs. In all these cases, solar H2 will be used to store energy and release it on demand either for fuel cells or internal combustion engines and turbines. With reference to many examples as well as to new technologies, this book provides insight into a crucial technology for our common future
