FOREWORD BY
Anežka Šebek
Anežka Šebek is a filmmaker and computerized visual effects producer turned scholar whose work applies systems thinking to the interconnected challenges of design, technology, and sustainability. She was one of the founders and a faculty member in the Master of Fine Arts program in Design and Technology at Parsons School of Design (1998–2021), she earned her Ph.D. in Sociology in 2016 with research on social systems and housing inequality in post-industrial cities of the northeastern United States. Currently a Visiting Professor at IIT Gandhinagar in India, she teaches courses integrating sustainable design, engineering, and human factors. Her current research explores regional ecologies in the northeastern United States and investigates how artificial intelligence can enhance resilience and equity in emerging energy and food systems.
In the global pursuit of a sustainable future, hydrogen stands as both a challenge and a promise — a bridge between scientific discovery and climate responsibility. Green Hydrogen Revolution – Part II captures this transformative moment, where innovation converges with implementation, guiding industries, researchers, and policymakers toward a resilient energy future accessible to people of all economic and cultural backgrounds.
The author’s approach is both comprehensive and forward-looking. The first volume illuminated the scientific and technological foundations of green hydrogen; this second part advances the discourse by addressing safety protocols, digital transformation, financial ecosystems, and workforce development — the very elements required to turn theoretical potential into tangible reality. It proposes a roadmap for harnessing an abundant source of energy essential to humanity’s progress on a planet of finite natural resources.
What distinguishes this work is its systems-thinking perspective. It recognizes that building a hydrogen economy is not only a matter of electrolysis efficiency or renewable capacity but also of human capital, global collaboration, and risk governance. The chapters on Industry 4.0, emerging technologies, and commercialization pathways provide readers with a strategic lens to understand how hydrogen can anchor a low-carbon industrial ecosystem by 2050 and beyond.
As nations race to meet net-zero commitments, such scholarship is crucial in countering the entrenched dominance of fossil fuel corporations. It unites engineering precision with economic foresight and policy vision, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of the energy transition itself.
I commend the author for presenting an integrated roadmap — one that transcends conventional boundaries between science, industry, and society. This book is not merely a technical compendium; it is a call to collective action, urging us to innovate responsibly and collaborate globally.
May this contribution inspire a new generation of researchers, entrepreneurs, and leaders to accelerate the realization of a hydrogen-powered world.
ABOUT BOOK / ABSTRACT
The world is entering a new era of energy transformation — one defined by the urgent pursuit of net-zero emissions and a decisive shift away from fossil fuels. At the center of this transition stands green hydrogen — a clean, versatile, and high-energy fuel that has the potential to redefine how industries, transportation systems, and entire economies operate.
The Green Hydrogen Revolution Part-II explores the science, technology, and global vision behind hydrogen’s rise as the fuel of the future. It traces the evolution of hydrogen energy, explains its production pathways, and reveals how innovations in electrolysis, renewable integration, and fuel cell technology are making large-scale hydrogen deployment both practical and sustainable.
This book provides a comprehensive foundation for understanding every dimension of green hydrogen — from production, storage, and distribution to its diverse applications in power generation, industry, and mobility. It also highlights the economic, policy, and environmental frameworks that are driving hydrogen’s adoption worldwide.
Beyond the technical details, The Green Hydrogen Revolution captures the global movement toward clean energy independence, illustrating how nations, researchers, and industries are uniting to create a carbon-neutral future. Through detailed analysis, real-world examples, and forward-looking perspectives, the book shows how hydrogen can serve as the missing link between renewable energy sources and a sustainable, circular economy.
Whether you are a student, researcher, policymaker, or energy professional, this book is designed to inform, inspire, and empower — offering both scientific depth and strategic vision.
The revolution has already begun — and green hydrogen stands at its very heart.
