This book provides teaching resources which explain how Chemistry can be used in combination with hydrogen and fuel cell technology.
We enter the third millennium greedy for energy and endangering the planet with pollution - the energy crisis is upon us.
After centuries where the sources of power have been carbon based, and now that our reserves of these fuels are falling, is hydrogen set to be the fuel of the 21st century?
Discounts can be given on larger numbers of the book for classroom sets.T
he book in combination with the "Science Kit Complete" can be used for a wide range of experiments.
