Newest book release – COOL FUEL: The Science and Engineering of Cryogenic Hydrogen
The book can now be ‘pre-ordered’ and will be available in stores starting in February 2025 Abstract Hydrogen, the first and most abundant element in our universe, is an essential zero-carbon fuel in humanity’s race against catastrophic climate change. However, very few have access to cryogenic systems for energy-dense hydrogen to gain the necessary experience
