But what if there were a more hopeful story, one in which we eliminated our carbon footprint, and life as we know it continued, too? There is. As Marco Alverà, the CEO of one of the world's leading energy companies, argues in The Hydrogen Revolution, if we want to save our planet, and keep our economies afloat, too, then we need a new kind of fuel: hydrogen. Alverà calls hydrogen "the internet of energy." It will connect every thread of the energy system, economy, and society, enabling green energy to become cheap and abundant. Examining its potential across myriad domains of human activity, from transportation and infrastructure to heating and electricity, Alverà shows that hydrogen--and ammonia, made using green hydrogen--could eliminate fossil fuels entirely, unshackling industry from the carbon burden, boosting economic growth, and encouraging nations to address climate change collectively. And it could solve some of the most bedeviling aspects of renewables--from transporting and storing wind and solar energy and their vulnerability to weather changes to the inefficiency of heavy, short-lasting batteries that ultimately have limited applications. The Hydrogen Revolution is not just the latest in a series of quixotic plans to heal our planet. Ultimately, this book is a hopeful reminder that despite the gloomy headlines and apocalyptic prognostications, we can still turn things around. We've already begun"--
