Hydrogen as a Fuel: Learning from NatureRichard Cammack, Michel Frey, Robert Robson There continues to be widespread interest in the applications of hydrogen as a clean fuel and its potential for local electricity production and use in transport. Recent years have seen a variety of breakthroughs in our understanding of the nature, structure, and biosynthesis of hydrogenases. This book is a timely description of these developments, |
