Hydrogen Energy and Vehicle Systems

Scott E. Grasman is a professor and department head of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology. Dr. Grasman is the author/coauthor of over 100 technical papers and is a reviewer/editorial member of various journals and books. His primary research interests relate to the application of quantitative models, focusing on the design and development of supply chain and logistics networks.

While the debate between enthusiasts and detractors influences the level of interest by governments and the public, thankfully there are engineers and scientists in academia and industry that continue researching, developing, and applying hydrogen technologies toward ever more practical solutions. This book provides insights from many of those scientists and engineers on a broad array of issues, challenges, and accomplishments of hydrogen technology over the past years leading to the present.—From the Foreword by William R. Taylor"A comprehensive overview of fuel cell and hydrogen technology for vehicles, something much needed and hopefully well-received in the academic world."—Jennifer Gangi, Fuel Cells 2000, Washington, DC, USA"… a concise discussion on the topic of integrating our electricity and transportation networks."—Dan Carter, Fuel Cell Today, Royston, UK
